About Sophie
Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and works with a wide range of issues including anger, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief.
Her background includes supporting people through spousal and parental bereavement and relationship breakdowns. She has worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, people with addictions, and those managing complex mental health concerns such as mood disorders. Sophie also describes her practice as affirming for LGBTQ+ clients and notes her own queer identification.
Sophie uses Person-Centred Therapy, sometimes called Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding the client’s experience from their point of view. Sessions are non-directive and led by what the person brings to the room, rather than by a set agenda or therapist-led tasks. That way of working aims to help people explore difficult emotions like anger, shame or isolation in a self-led way.
She is clear that person-centred work may not suit everyone. If someone wants structured techniques or a therapist to direct the process, this approach can feel different. Sophie is willing to discuss the fit before or during a first session so people can decide whether this style matches their needs.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should follow the site's guidance to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Person-Centred practice and online sessions
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on building an authentic therapeutic relationship. It centres on listening, reflecting, and following what the client brings to each session. This approach is often used for emotional difficulties such as anger, grief, shame and relationship problems.Client-Centred work is non-directive - the counsellor does not set the agenda. Instead, the therapist supports people to explore feelings and discover what matters to them. That style can suit people who want to understand underlying causes rather than learn specific techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sophie will work with each person to consider whether person-centred therapy fits their needs and goals. This is a collaborative discussion that can take place before or during the first session so both parties can decide if the approach feels appropriate.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you are considering working online, confirm the current session options before booking through the site. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use person-centred methods, can then help arrange session lengths and timings that suit everyday life.
