About Sophie

Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people managing anger alongside stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Sophie speaks English and works with clients who are seeking clearer thinking and steadier mood. Sophie has four years of professional practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, and with those who find concentration and motivation difficult, including attention difference challenges such as ADHD. In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about plainly. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on small, practical steps that can help day-to-day life. Sophie uses a mix of approaches to fit each person rather than a single fixed method. Her work includes exploring relationship struggles, grief, intimacy matters and issues around identity and sexuality, as well as pressures from work and caregiving. She can help people think about unhealthy patterns such as codependency, control issues or addictive behaviours and find different ways of coping. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Sophie aims to make it manageable. She supports people as they clarify goals and try new ways of handling difficult emotions and situations.

How Sophie uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, stress and low mood by encouraging practical changes rather than fighting feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep problems and bursts of anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and naming emotions, which can improve how someone responds when anger or hurt arises.



Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might fit best. The process is collaborative, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.



The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel by removing the need to commute. It can also allow a shorter check-in when days are busy, or let someone choose phone rather than video if they prefer less screen time. Discussing practical arrangements at the first session helps make therapy fit everyday life.
