Sophie Sinclair-Brown, BACP

Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has built a varied practice over three years, supporting people through spousal and parental bereavement, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Her clinical work has also included supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, people living with addictions, and those experiencing a range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, and personality-related difficulties.

Sophie identifies as queer - lesbian - and uses she/her pronouns, and her practice aims to be an affirming space for clients from the LGBTQ+ community. She works in a person-centred way, emphasising a warm, accepting, and authentic therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. In sessions she seeks to understand how each person experiences their difficulties and to hold space for processing difficult emotions without judgement.

The person-centred approach Sophie offers is non-directive and focuses on empowering clients to be active agents in their own growth. This style may feel different from therapies that teach specific techniques or prioritise symptom-focused strategies, and Sophie is open to discussing whether this approach fits a client’s needs before or during the first session. Her priority is ensuring people receive the support that best matches their goals and preferences.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy, as practised by Sophie, focuses on building a warm, non-judgemental relationship in which the client’s experience guides the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is shared, and supports the client’s own capacity for insight and change - an approach that can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and navigating life transitions.

Sophie’s training in person-centred experiential counselling complements this by emphasising emotional exploration in the moment, helping people access and make sense of difficult feelings such as grief, shame, or isolation. This style supports clients who want space to explore underlying experiences rather than learning specific coping techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie works collaboratively with clients to identify which way of working best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she is happy to discuss this before or during early sessions.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to find time for therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These formats increase accessibility and flexibility, allowing registered professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and adapt to each client’s practical needs.
