About Sophie Holden

Sophie Holden believes that everyone has the right to build a life they want to live, and she approaches counselling with a clear commitment to helping people work through the obstacles that stand in their way. She creates a supportive, person-centred space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours at their own pace, allowing insights to emerge even when change feels impossible.

Sophie has a warm, curious style and often hears that simply being asked how they are feeling can make a big difference for people early in therapy. Many find the initial sessions unexpectedly relieving, as conversation and reflection help bring clarity and small steps forward.

Therapy can feel daunting to begin, and Sophie welcomes questions from anyone considering support. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance to each session. Sophie invites people to reach out so they can explore whether counselling is the right next step for them.

Approaches and Online Support with Sophie Holden



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people explore personal values, feelings and choices so they can move toward a life they feel comfortable with.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It supports people who are experiencing anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns by teaching strategies to reframe thinking and develop more effective coping skills.

Sophie works collaboratively with clients to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process, and she involves clients in decisions about focus and pace so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. Registered professionals can provide consistent, effective care through these formats, helping clients access therapy from their own environments with scheduling that adapts to their life.
