About Sophie
Sophie Grimmett is a counsellor who uses a humanistic approach at the heart of her work. She aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sophie emphasises practical self-care and clear information alongside conversations about what matters to each person.
She holds a Masters, Level 7, from the University of Wales and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Sophie works
Sophie has five years of clinical experience across local counselling services and the National Health Service in secondary mental health settings. She currently works as a Psychological Therapist within the NHS. Her style is pluralistic, which means she draws on several evidence-based techniques rather than one fixed method.
That allows her to match the way she works to each person's needs. Typical areas she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns. Sophie also offers help with relationship issues, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain, career difficulties and life transitions.
She can talk through sleep and eating problems, ADHD-related challenges, anger, bipolar mood management and compassion fatigue. Sophie welcomes people from LGBT communities. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.
Sophie will work with people to identify doable steps, coping strategies and helpful routines. The emphasis is on steady progress and learning ways to manage day-to-day life more comfortably.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Her primary orientation is humanistic, which focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about feelings, identity, grief or life changes.She also works pluralistically, combining practical self-care strategies and psychoeducation with conversational therapy. That means Sophie can offer clear explanations about symptoms, suggest small daily routines, and teach breathing or grounding exercises for anxiety or distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques feel most useful and adapt them as goals evolve. She checks in on what helps and changes course when needed so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter, frequent contact and people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and busy days.
