About Sophia
Sophia Churchouse is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Sophia focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression and helps people facing these issues day to day.
Sophia aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. She adapts conversations and any agreed plan to suit each person's circumstances. In practical terms that means clear check-ins, setting small goals, and revisiting what is or isn't helping as therapy progresses.
Her background includes frontline work with people managing addictive behaviours and those coping with loss and trauma. That experience informs a straightforward approach to difficult problems, such as panic, intrusive thoughts, withdrawal from social life, and persistent low mood. Sessions focus on making problems feel more manageable and building skills for handling stressors.
Sophia also works with people affected by cancer and caregiver stress, and with those who struggle with communication, dependent personality patterns, dissociation, and relationship endings. She is familiar with obsessive and compulsive struggles, phobias, and mood disorder presentations.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sophia does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can take different forms online. Cognitive methods help people recognise unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses; these are useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Behavioural strategies focus on changing patterns through small, repeatable actions - helpful for avoidance, phobias and compulsive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan, and it may change as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and commuting by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions to be scheduled at times that suit work or study commitments, which can help maintain consistency.
