About Sophie

Sophie Bellamy is a counsellor who helps people facing a wide range of concerns. She supports people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Sophie also works with worries about parenting, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Sophie uses an integrative way of working that draws on attachment ideas and Gestalt thinking. She describes her model as developmental and relational. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, make different choices, and build practical ways to cope day to day.

Her style is person-centred and collaborative. Sophie offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences. She focuses on what each person needs now, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sophie has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are accepted.

Sessions begin by looking at immediate concerns and practical goals. Over time Sophie weaves in attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work to help people strengthen relationships and self-understanding. Her approach aims to give people clearer pathways to a more fulfilling life.

Step 3

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns that shape how people connect and respond to others; it can help with intimacy-related concerns and relationship distress. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience and pace, offering empathic listening and space to explore what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches feel most useful for their goals. She adapts methods as needed, combining ideas to suit practical needs and relationship goals.

If you are considering online appointments, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which can be helpful for those juggling work, caregiving or relocation.
