About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting worries. She also supports people dealing with trauma, self-esteem problems, eating and intimacy-related concerns. Sophie works with a broad range of life changes, career questions and challenges linked to identity and LGBT issues.
Sophie practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has four years of professional experience and previously worked at Barnet Bereavement, where she supported people through grief counselling.
Background and approach
That work influenced how she responds to loss and bereavement now. In sessions Sophie aims to create a warm and non-judgemental space. She listens carefully and helps people name what feels difficult.
Her style is collaborative - she treats the person as expert on their own life and helps them find practical steps forward. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used flexibly to match the issue at hand and a person’s preferences.
Sophie helps people break problems into small, manageable steps. She uses straightforward conversation, exercises and mindfulness to build coping skills and confidence. The focus is on what people want to change and on finding realistic ways to get there.
People who choose Sophie can expect attentive listening, clear explanations and practical tools. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and support steady progress through difficult life moments.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sophie will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adapted until they feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can suit short check-ins, reflections between sessions or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options aim to make regular contact and steady progress easier to fit into a busy life.
