Sophie Skipp, BACP

Sophie Skipp is a qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of clinical experience. She is a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with people across a broad age range, from 16-year-olds to older adults. Sophie has particular experience supporting neurodiverse clients, including those with Autism and ADD/ADHD, and understands how neurodiversity can shape experiences of emotion and coping.

Her main area of practice to date has been bereavement and ongoing loss, which has given her extensive exposure to issues such as grief, stress, identity shifts, anxiety, depression, and trauma. That background informs a calm, empathetic approach when helping clients navigate major life changes and the emotional fallout that can follow. As a wellbeing therapist, Sophie can integrate mindfulness techniques into sessions when they are likely to be helpful, tailoring practical methods to each person’s needs.

Sophie is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She invites prospective clients to make contact to discuss how she may be able to support them and to explore whether her approach fits their needs.

Approaches that suit online therapy and personal growth

Sophie uses client-centred therapy to place the individual at the heart of the process, offering a supportive, non-directive space where personal values and identity can be explored - an approach well suited to challenges like grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Mindfulness therapy is offered as a practical tool to help manage stress and anxiety by cultivating present-moment awareness and simple coping practices that can be applied between sessions.

Solution-focused therapy complements these approaches by concentrating on strengths, goals, and small, achievable steps forward, which can be especially useful when coping with immediate problems or adjusting to change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Sophie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy or complex lives. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients and registered professionals to work together from different locations while keeping the focus on meaningful, practical progress.
