Sophie Skipp , BACP

Sophie Skipp is a BACP-qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who brings four years of practice supporting teenagers and adults through periods of change and loss. She works with clients from age 16 through older adulthood, offering experience with neurodiverse presentations including Autism and ADD/ADHD. Her work to date has focused significantly on bereavement and ongoing loss, giving her practical familiarity with grief, stress, shifting identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, and how neurodiversity can shape each of these experiences.

Sophie also practices as a wellbeing therapist and can incorporate mindfulness techniques into sessions when clients feel they would be helpful. Her approach centers on meeting people where they are, listening to individual stories, and helping clients find ways to cope with life changes, low self-esteem, panic, social anxiety, loneliness, workplace issues, and end-of-life concerns.

Sophie welcomes messages from anyone interested in exploring therapy and appreciates that starting this kind of work can feel like stepping into the unknown. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and is available to discuss how she may be able to offer support tailored to each person’s needs. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Therapy with Sophie Skipp

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work. In this approach Sophie offers attentive listening and supports clients in exploring their own goals, helpful for issues like identity, low self-esteem, and navigating life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Sophie can bring mindfulness into sessions to help with anxiety, stress, panic symptoms, and emotional overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, practical steps toward change. This approach can be useful when clients want clear, goal-oriented strategies to address workplace difficulties, coping skills, or short-term concerns.

Finding the right approach is an active part of the therapeutic process. Sophie works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts the work over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that suits their schedule. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals while balancing day-to-day commitments and geographical constraints.
