Sophia Clark, BACP

Sophia Clark is a person-centred counsellor (MBCAP) who combines postgraduate training in clinical psychology (MSc) with a 500-hour yoga teacher training certificate (YTT-500). She is also listed with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional standing.

Her practice is grounded in person-centred principles that give people space to explore who they are in the present moment without judgement or pressure. Sophia creates an environment where honest, unguarded conversation is encouraged, often allowing clients to speak more freely than they do elsewhere in their lives.

Sophia welcomes the whole person, not just isolated problems, and recognises that parts of experience are often suppressed or sidelined to meet expectations. She approaches this work with patience and tenderness, acknowledging that reclaiming and integrating those parts can take time.

Over the course of therapy, this permission to be oneself can support clearer thinking, the setting of new boundaries and intentions, and a greater sense of alignment. Many people report feeling lighter or more able to attend to their own needs. Sophia aims to help clients meet lifeâs challenges with more agency - moving from feeling acted upon to shaping a life that reflects their values and desires.

Person-centred work and online therapy options

Person-centred counselling places emphasis on understanding a personâs experience from their perspective. It offers non-directive support that helps clients explore feelings, clarify values, and develop self-compassion - useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns.

Sophia also brings a background in clinical psychology and yoga training to her work. Clinical psychology-informed techniques can offer practical strategies for managing difficult thoughts and emotions, while yoga-informed practices support somatic awareness and grounding for those coping with stress, burnout or body image concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sophia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the mix of person-centred listening, psychology-informed skills and yoga-informed techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers flexible access to registered professionals and therapists from different locations. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family life or mobility needs and allow continuity of care for clients living internationally or who prefer remote support.
