Sophie Wilfin
Compassionate support for grief, anxiety and life change
About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and life changes.
Sophie works with clients who identify as LGBT and with a wide range of related problems such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiving stress. Sophie uses clear, everyday language in sessions.
Background and approach
She believes people are the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths. The first goal is to make space to be heard and to feel less alone. From there she helps clients set small, practical steps toward change.
Her work blends several approaches depending on what the person needs. Sophie draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with difficult thoughts and patterns. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones, and elements of acceptance and commitment work to build values-led goals.
Sophie completed training in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice. She has around four years of professional experience and has worked with bereavement services, which deepened her work with grief and loss. Sessions are offered in English and take a compassionate, down-to-earth tone.
Sophie aims to create practical plans that fit day-to-day life while also acknowledging strong feelings. She encourages small steps, steady progress and honest conversation about what matters most.

How Sophie’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting pushed around by them and to choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns still shape how people connect now, and can help with trust, intimacy and repeated conflicts in relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most relevant. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work continues, so the plan changes if something is not helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and keep progress moving forward.
