Sophia Hammoudeh , BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in Devon, United Kingdom, with five years of clinical experience supporting people through difficult life challenges. She works extensively with trauma-related concerns and the ways they can disrupt daily functioning, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Her practice also addresses a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, addictions, family and relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, self-esteem, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.

Sophia uses a flexible, person-focused approach that adapts to each client rather than applying a single model to everyone. She draws on well-established methods to help clients explore patterns, process painful experiences, and build practical skills for coping and connection. Her training includes membership in the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in counselling and therapy in the UK.

She communicates in both English and Arabic and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people taking the often-difficult step of seeking support. Sophia acknowledges that reaching out for help takes courage and values collaboration in planning an approach that fits each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop practical strategies to act in ways that matter to them, even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and difficulty making changes in life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and the impact of past relational trauma.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional experiences within close relationships, helping partners and individuals strengthen bonds and respond differently to conflict. It can be helpful for trust, attachment, and reconnection issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sophia collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening with practical planning so the work feels tailored and purposeful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules. These formats increase accessibility for people who live apart from services or who prefer remote care, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to work collaboratively with clients toward their goals.
