About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She helps with relationship worries, parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, career doubts and compassion fatigue. Sophie also works with concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating difficulties.
Sophie uses a person-centred foundation in her work. That means she aims to treat people with warmth, acceptance and respect while helping them find their own answers.
Background and approach
Sessions are bespoke and shaped around each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed formula. Her practice is integrative, drawing on methods from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and client-centred therapy. Hypnotherapy is also included among the techniques she may use, selected when it fits a person’s aims.
Sophie focuses on clear, practical steps alongside deeper insight work to support change. She has around six years of professional experience and a background in psychology and counselling studies. Sophie continues to update her practice with current research and tools from psychology, neuroscience and mindfulness-related fields to broaden what she can offer.
In sessions she often uses questions that prompt self-reflection and practical exercises to help people build more autonomy and self-esteem. Her style is encouraging and direct, and she aims to help people reduce overwhelm, build coping skills and increase daily wellbeing.

Online support
How Sophie blends approaches for online work
Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods to guide online sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and small committed actions that bring life closer to what matters. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening, respect and a non-judgemental stance so people can explore what matters to them and build confidence.Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit and may be offered when suitable; it is used as a guided technique to help with relaxation, habit change and accessing focused attention for issues like sleep or anxious states. Sophie treats approach selection as collaborative - she will discuss options and adapt work based on your goals, preferences and what proves most helpful in early sessions.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which offers flexibility. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well for those with low bandwidth, and messaging can fit short check-ins or people with busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
