About Sophie
Sophie Bellamy helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction and stress. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem difficulties, ADHD, and life changes. Sophie offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Sophie has five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on an integrative model that pays attention to development and relationships.
Background and approach
This means she pays close attention to past attachments and present patterns when talking with clients. Sessions focus on what is useful for the person in front of her. Sophie uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred listening.
She helps people notice their values, respond differently to difficult feelings, and improve connection with others. Sophie keeps language straightforward and practical in sessions. She works at a pace set by the client and aims to make small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Expect honest, compassionate conversation and active collaboration to set clear goals. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits.

How Sophie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming driven by them. It emphasises values and committed action, which can help with anxiety, depression, addiction and major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, trust and recurring relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Sophie works together with each person to decide what fits best based on their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with discussion and small experiments to see what helps, and plans are adjusted as work progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter updates or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or health needs, while keeping the focus on steady progress and meaningful change.
