Sophia Clark, BACP

Sophia Clark is a person-centred counsellor who blends professional training in clinical psychology with a practical background in yoga. She holds an MSc in Clinical Psychology, a professional counselling membership (MBCAP), a 500-hour yoga teacher training certificate (YTT-500), and BACP credentialing, and brings three years of practice to her work. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients are encouraged to explore who they are in the present moment without pressure or performance.

In sessions she invites clients to bring the full range of their experience, acknowledging that people often hide or minimise parts of themselves to meet others' expectations. That process of re-integration can be gradual and gentle, and Sophia supports people at each step as they learn to accept and attend to their own needs. Over time this steady attention can help clients think and feel more clearly, set new boundaries, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop intentions that better reflect their values.

Sophia works with a wide variety of concerns, including addictions, relationships and intimacy issues, career and life changes, stress and anxiety, LGBT matters, family and parenting challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her combined training in clinical psychology and yoga informs an approach that is both evidence-aware and body-informed, helping clients meet challenges more fluently and move from feeling that life is happening to them toward a greater sense of agency and alignment.

Person-Centred and Body-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Person-centred counselling focuses on creating a listening, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach helps with issues such as self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and adjustment to life changes by emphasising empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own resources.

Sophia also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and her training in yoga to offer body-aware practices that support emotional regulation and stress reduction. These practices can be helpful for anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, and coping with overwhelming emotions by encouraging gentle awareness of physical sensations alongside talk-based work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophia works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as the work unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support from home or while travelling. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations.
