Person-centred psychotherapeutic counselling for change

Sophie Robinson-Matthews offers psychotherapeutic counselling that focuses on mental and life wellness. She works in a person-centred way at the heart of her practice, believing that people have the capacity to access their most authentic selves. Sessions are bespoke to each individual and delivered with warmth, compassion and acceptance so clients can flourish.
Her approach is integrative - she draws holistically from a range of therapeutic and evidence-based methods to meet individual needs and goals, recognising that no single model fits everyone. Sophie blends seven formal years of psychology training with four years of formal counselling training and continues to update her knowledge with contemporary research and techniques from psychology, counselling, philosophy, neuroscience, meditative studies and related holistic disciplines.
Sophie has a broad set of interests, with primary areas including identity, anxiety and related issues (for example OCD), bereavement and grief, communication, and women’s issues such as PMDD, PME, PMT and PASS. She has worked in support services since 2012 and brings six years of therapeutic experience to her practice.
Her aim is to support clients to reach their goals - whether that means increasing self-esteem, gaining autonomy, finding more hope, or simply feeling happier with themselves. Sophie values insight-oriented questioning to deepen self-awareness and encourage behavioural change, and she takes pride in practising what she preaches by only recommending approaches she has tried or that have a sound research base.
Sophie is happy to use the pronouns a client prefers and is committed to ethical practice. She views witnessing mindset shifts and the implementation of new strategies as a professional privilege and approaches each therapeutic relationship with encouragement, uplift and practical wisdom.
Research indicates that online therapy can be equally effective as traditional in-person sessions for many common concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes. For these types of issues, remote counselling often delivers meaningful outcomes comparable to face-to-face work.
A key advantage of remote therapy is flexibility - clients can choose the communication method that fits their life and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and integrate therapy into a busy routine.
Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, virtual therapy provides a convenient, effective route to support and progress in their mental health journey.
