Mrs Sophie Robinson-Matthews, MSc

I focus on practical, person-centred steps that fit your rhythm, shaping sessions to meet immediate pressures and longer-term change. Based in the UK, I work in English and offer secure online sessions so you can join from wherever feels safest. Sessions move at a steady pace — reflective listening paired with short practical tasks and simple mindfulness practices — and I often suggest gentle between-session activities to help shift patterns in everyday life. This way of working suits people facing transitions, anxiety, grief or burnout who want steady, usable progress. ~ My core therapeutic style is in Person-centred counselling and this is always at the heart of my services. It means I believe everyone has the power to access their best version of themselves and blossom into their most authentic Self. It also means that I treat you with warmth, compassion and acceptance so that you may flourish. ~ In practice, I am integrative which means that I draw from many therapeutic and psychological approaches because I believe that no one model fits all so enjoy a variety to best meet the needs of my clients. ~ I do take a trauma-informed approach to therapy which means where possible, we look to understand and heal the root of the symptoms you are experiencing, such as anxiety, people pleasing etc. and that any tools I teach you will be used in line with current understanding and best practice so as not to re-traumatise. ~ The closest descriptor of what I practice is Depth Psychology, meaning we seek to understand your unconscious and look at all the layers of influence upon you in order to achieve integration, alignment with your Self, and liberation from distress. ~ I am also happy to use the pronouns you prefer, Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ friendly.
