Sophia Churchouse, BACP, NCPS

Sophia Churchouse is a qualified and registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting her membership with recognised professional counselling bodies and her commitment to established standards of practice.

Her work centres on supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, relationship and communication difficulties, obsessive and compulsive patterns, panic and phobias, and issues connected to life purpose and isolation. Sophia adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals, combining sensitivity with practical strategies.

She approaches therapy with respect and compassion and aims to empower individuals as they take the often-difficult steps toward change. Sophia offers a supportive, person-focused partnership that encourages growth and resilience while attending to the specific challenges a person brings to therapy.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support

Sophia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One common strand of her work focuses on practical skills to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - this kind of approach helps with anxiety, low mood, panic and repetitive patterns that interfere with daily life. Another key area is trauma-informed support that helps people process difficult experiences, build coping strategies, and reduce distress related to abuse, loss or dissociation. She also integrates focused strategies for addiction recovery, emphasising motivation, coping skills and relapse prevention where needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sophia works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances. This shared decision-making helps shape a treatment plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy with Sophia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, caregiving or other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue even when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
