About Sophie Robinson-Matthews
Sophie Robinson-Matthews offers psychotherapeutic counselling that blends a person-centred foundation with integrative, evidence-informed techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem difficulties, depression, relationship and attachment concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger and career transitions, as well as neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sophie’s practice emphasises warmth, compassion and acceptance so clients can develop greater autonomy, self-esteem and hope as they move towards a life with more joy and less overwhelm.
Sophie describes her core style as person-centred, meaning she prioritises a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps clients access their own strengths and values. She is also integrative in her approach, drawing on a range of psychological models and research-backed methods so that interventions are tailored to the individual rather than forcing a single model on every client. Insight-oriented questions, practical tools and behavioural approaches are used when they fit a person’s goals.
Her clinical interests include identity work, anxiety and related presentations such as OCD, bereavement and loss, communication difficulties, and women’s health concerns including PMDD, PME, PMT and PASS. Sophie welcomes clients’ preferred pronouns and focuses on helping people realise meaningful mindset shifts, implement sustainable behavioural changes and overcome life’s challenges.
Sophie holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to recognised professional standards. She keeps up to date with developing research and therapeutic techniques, combining psychological, philosophical and meditative perspectives with a practical, evidence-aware stance. Sophie’s manner is encouraging, uplifting and purpose-driven, and she aims to support each person with thoughtful tools and steady guidance rather than promising quantifiable outcomes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Sophie
Sophie integrates client-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based principles into her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people find their own solutions and build self-worth, useful for self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and committing to meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, depression and overwhelming emotions by shifting how someone relates to inner experiences. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, supporting work with abandonment, attachment issues, trauma and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences and needs, and together they will decide which combination of methods is most helpful. This flexible, person-focused planning is integral to her practice.
Online therapy with Sophie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to rearrange daily life, and they allow therapy to adapt to each person’s pace and communication style.
