Sophie Robinson-Matthews, BACP

Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports people with mental and life wellness through a warm, person-centred approach. She offers bespoke sessions tailored to each individual's needs, drawing integratively from evidence-based methods so that therapy aligns with the client's goals and personal preferences.

At the heart of her practice is person-centred work, which emphasises respect, empathy, and acceptance to help clients access their own strengths and authenticity. She also uses a range of therapeutic techniques as appropriate, blending approaches to suit complex and varied presenting issues rather than relying on a single model.

Sophie works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, self-esteem and identity, relationship and attachment issues, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She has particular interests in areas such as abandonment, attachment challenges, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, and fertility and family of origin matters.

She values ongoing professional development and follows an ethical code for counsellors while integrating research and practical tools from psychology, neuroscience, meditative studies, and other complementary areas. Sophie uses insight-oriented questions and encouraging interventions to help clients increase autonomy, build self-esteem, and make meaningful behavioural and mindset changes. She respects preferred pronouns and holds the BACP credential, which denotes the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
