Sophie Sinclair-Brown , BACP

Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a counsellor who practises client-centred therapy. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sophie offers a welcoming, non-judgemental space for people to talk through personal issues and difficult feelings.

She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression and stress, and supports people facing grief, addictions and life changes. Sophie also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and communication problems. Her practice explicitly welcomes people from the LGBT community and she includes women’s issues among her focus areas.

Sophie’s approach is person-centred, which means sessions follow what the person wants to explore rather than a strict agenda. She listens closely to understand each person’s perspective and helps them make sense of their experience. This style aims to empower people to use their own resources and make choices that feel right for them.

With three years working in the field, Sophie has supported people through bereavement, relationship strain and recovery from abuse. She has experience with mood disorders, bipolar conditions, self-harm and complex mental health difficulties alongside more common concerns like social anxiety and eating issues.

Sophie holds a Master’s-level qualification in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and is registered with the BACP. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via a mix of video calls, phone, live chat and messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled afterwards.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building an accepting, non-directive relationship where the person leads the conversation. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship questions, anxiety, depression and navigating life changes by encouraging self-understanding and personal agency.

Person-centred work is about listening, reflection and supporting people to find their own answers rather than giving advice. Sophie will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most useful and adjust the way sessions are run to match goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial expression and body language for fuller interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing processing between meetings, or when someone prefers typing over speaking.

These options aim to make therapy more accessible and flexible. Registered or accredited professionals can help choose the format that best fits practical needs, comfort level and therapeutic aims. Working together, the therapist and person can decide which approach and session type will support progress.
