About Sophie
Sophie Skipp uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate loss, stress and change. She keeps sessions simple and direct so parents can quickly see how therapy might help their family member. Sophie is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
Sophie has four years of experience working in bereavement and ongoing end-of-life support. That work exposed her to anxiety, depression, trauma and shifts in identity that follow loss.
How Sophie works
She also has experience with neurodiverse people, including Autism and Asperger Syndrome, and understands how those differences can affect grief and stress. Her style is grounded and practical. Sessions are led by the person seeking support, with Sophie listening closely and reflecting back what matters most.
She offers mindfulness techniques where helpful, and focuses on small, achievable steps that bring relief between sessions. Sophie also helps people facing workplace strain, social anxiety, panic attacks and feelings of emptiness. She can work through issues of self-esteem, impulsivity and life purpose, using straightforward language and clear goals.
Sophie holds BACP registration, which is listed as a credential. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and accepts international clients. Practical information about cost and booking appears elsewhere on the site.
To begin, people are invited to describe their main concern and what they hope to change. Sophie aims to create a calm, steady space where a person can make sense of difficult feelings and find useful ways forward.

How person-centred and mindfulness work online
Sophie uses a person-centred approach that starts by listening to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects back what they hear and helps the person clarify goals and priorities. This approach is useful for grief, stress and identity questions where being heard matters more than a fixed plan.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can reduce panic, ease anxiety and offer tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophie will discuss which methods might help based on the client's needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the mix of listening, mindfulness and solution-focused steps as work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging let people check in between appointments or communicate without using video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
