About Sophia

Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and parenting concerns. She also helps with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem and career worries. Sophia works in English and Arabic and sees clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sophia uses a flexible, person-focused way of working. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed formula. She aims to build a steady working relationship so people can talk through what matters most to them.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred listening and hypnotherapy techniques. That mix allows practical strategies alongside space to understand emotions and patterns that repeat in relationships and day-to-day life. Sophia holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She has five years' experience supporting people with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Sessions can cover specific challenges like communication and control issues, blended family or adoption-related worries, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Sophia aims to help people notice what matters to them, develop manageable changes, and find ways to cope that fit their daily life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches suited to online support

Sophia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help when intimacy, communication or abandonment concerns keep repeating. Client-centred therapy offers empathic, non-judgemental listening so people can find their own pace and insights during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sophia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer to write, need brief check-ins, or want support that fits around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
