Sophie Sinclair-Brown, BACP

Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a counsellor who uses Person-Centred Therapy to create a warm and accepting space for clients. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sophie aims to understand each person from their own point of view and to follow whatever they bring to sessions.

Sophie completed a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and has three years of clinical experience. Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She has also worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and people facing addictions and complex mental health concerns.

Person-Centred Therapy with Sophie focuses on listening and responding to the client's experience rather than directing the conversation. Sessions are non-directive and led by what the client wants to explore, which can help people feel more empowered in their own process. It is normal to arrive without a clear agenda; Sophie treats that as part of the work.

Sophie’s areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, sexuality and intimacy-related issues. Additional interests listed are communication difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation and mood disorders. She also notes interest in women’s issues and life-purpose questions.

Sophie identifies as queer (lesbian, she/her) and describes her practice as an affirming space for people from the LGBTQ+ community. If someone prefers a different therapeutic style or practical techniques, she is willing to discuss whether Person-Centred Therapy is the best fit before starting.

Person-Centred Therapy and online working

Person-Centred Therapy values an empathic, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people who want space to understand their feelings, explore identity and work through grief, anxiety or relationship concerns.

The person-centred stance aims to empower people to find their own answers rather than being given instructions. Sophie uses this collaborative way of working to help clients identify what matters to them and to make changes that fit their lives. Together they discuss goals and what a helpful session looks like.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Different formats suit different needs, for example shorter check-ins can fit a break at work, and audio-only sessions may use less bandwidth than video. The original biography does not specify which session formats Sophie offers, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach to make online sessions work in everyday routines.
