About Sophie
Sophie Bellamy is a counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma. She also helps with self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and major life changes such as career shifts or managing long-term health issues. Sophie holds BACP accreditation and has five years' experience working with a broad range of concerns.
Her way of working is practical and relational. Sophie draws on a blend of approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now, how patterns formed, and small steps that make day-to-day life easier. Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and move toward valued actions. She also brings attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current emotional responses.
Client-centred listening is central too, so people feel heard while they look for change. In conversation Sophie aims to be calm and straightforward. She supports people to name feelings, try new ways of reacting, and practise skills between meetings.
The emphasis is on practical tools that fit into normal life and on rebuilding a sense of agency. Sessions are available in English and Sophie works with international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
The site uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Sophie’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward those values, which can ease anxiety and specific fears. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection shapes emotional habits. That way of working can help people understand relationship patterns and feel less overwhelmed by closeness or separation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with clients about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time, so therapy feels collaborative and tailored.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine while still using evidence-informed approaches with registered or accredited professionals.
