Sophia Hammoudeh, BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh is a BACP-registered therapist based in Devon, United Kingdom. She works primarily with trauma-related concerns and the ways these experiences can affect daily functioning and emotional wellbeing. Her practice addresses a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, parenting challenges, and the long-term effects of abuse and trauma. She also offers support for symptoms related to ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career or life transition struggles.

Sophia describes her approach as flexible and adaptable to each person she meets - she does not use a one-size-fits-all model. Drawing on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based methods, client-centered work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and hypnotherapy, she tailors sessions to the needs and goals of each client. She is able to work with clients in English and Arabic, and she accepts international clients.

Seeking help is a courageous step and Sophia aims to make the process approachable. Those interested in arranging an appointment are invited to get in touch to discuss availability and the best way to begin working together. Her BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to professional practice standards.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and healing

Sophia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to meaningful actions - this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relationship patterns that stem from early bonds and to build more secure ways of relating - it can be especially useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathetic, nonjudgmental support so clients can lead the pace of change and discover solutions that fit their needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Sophia works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and personal history. She adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy with Sophia can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and accessible for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or who live far from her location. These options allow clients to receive consistent, ongoing support without needing to travel, and they make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day routines.
