Sophia Hammoudeh, BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, sleeping and eating difficulties, and low self-esteem. Sophia works in English and Arabic and is based in the United Kingdom.

Sophia uses practical, person-focused work. She adapts her style to each person rather than following a single formula. Sessions aim to make daily life easier and more manageable. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small changes that can help.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred work and hypnotherapy. These are used to help with emotional pain, relationship hurts and recurring patterns that cause distress. Sophia draws on what each person brings to the room to guide the work.

With five years of practice behind her, Sophia speaks plainly and aims to build a calm, steady working relationship. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals shape each step. That means checking in about whether a particular approach is helping and changing course if needed.

Sophia holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. To start, people follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the person and on taking small steps toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It is useful for people who repeat the same hurtful relationship cycles or struggle with trust. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to lead the pace and topics of sessions while the counsellor listens and reflects back what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make choices together based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting if it does not feel helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people take time out from work for a session, avoid being on camera when preferred, or use less bandwidth by choosing audio options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally tailor the practical setup to suit each person’s life and circumstances.
