About Sophie
Sophie Skipp offers a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of each session. She is presented here as Sophie Skipp, BACP, and she keeps conversations simple and direct. Sophie aims to help people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression.
Sessions focus on what matters right now and on small, clear steps forward. Sophie has four years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Much of her work has centred on bereavement and ongoing loss, which has given her practical insight into dealing with grief, identity changes and the heavy emotions that follow a loss. That experience also shaped her understanding of how neurodiversity can affect mood and coping.
She uses person-centred practice as the core of her approach, creating space for people to be heard and understood without judgement. Mindfulness techniques are offered where helpful to build simple, daily coping skills and reduce overwhelm. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and notice progress between sessions.
Sophie works with a range of concerns that include panic and social anxiety, workplace stress, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people dealing with hospice and end-of-life matters and the particular challenges these bring. Sessions are available in English and can be delivered online by video, phone, chat or messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Online support
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, practical exercises to calm the nervous system and notice unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, panic and overwhelm by giving short practices to use between sessions.
Solution-focused work centres on small steps and what is already working. Sessions identify achievable goals and track progress so people can see change happen in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie will work together with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that suits, phone needs less bandwidth for a quick check-in, chat can be handy for short updates, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, and to maintain contact when life is busy.
