Sophie Skipp, BACP

Sophie Skipp is a qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With four years of experience, she has supported people from around 16 years old through older adulthood, bringing a calm, listening-based approach to a wide range of concerns.

Her primary clinical work to date has been in bereavement and ongoing grief, which has given her practical experience addressing loss, stress, shifting identity, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Sophie also has experience working with neurodiverse clients, particularly those with autism and ADD/ADHD, and she pays attention to how neurodiversity can shape emotional experience and coping strategies.

As a wellbeing therapist she can integrate mindfulness and other practical techniques into sessions when these are likely to be helpful. Sophie adopts a person-centred stance, prioritising empathy and collaboration while offering structure and tools tailored to each individual. She recognises that beginning therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown and welcomes messages from people who would like to discuss how she may be able to support them on their journey.

Client-Centred and Mindful Support Online

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person seeking help, offering warm, non-judgemental listening and support so clients can explore their feelings and arrive at their own solutions; this approach is helpful for issues like identity shifts, grief, and life changes. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices that help reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment coping, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small achievable goals, helping people move forward from specific problems or get unstuck more quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie works collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of listening, practical techniques, and goal-oriented work feels most helpful, adapting methods to match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to fit therapy around work, family, mobility, or travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor their approach to each individual.
