Sophie Sinclair-Brown

Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a counsellor who uses person-centred, client-focused work to help people make sense of hard times. She is a BACP member and brings three years of practice to sessions. Sophie aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients lead the conversation and are listened to closely.

Sophie has supported people through bereavement and major life changes. She has worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and with people coping with addictions. She also has experience with mood difficulties such as depression, anxiety and bipolar presentations.

Her approach places the client’s perspective at the heart of therapy. Sessions are non-directive, so the client chooses what to focus on and Sophie follows that lead. This can feel unfamiliar at first, and she explains how the process works before and during early meetings.

Sophie is an affirming, queer-identifying therapist who welcomes people from the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring sexuality and intimacy concerns. She also helps people facing stresses around work, parenting, eating, isolation, grief and self-esteem.

She invites people to use therapy to better understand the causes of their distress, rather than only to learn coping techniques. Sophie discusses whether a person-centred way is a good fit during initial contact and will talk through any questions about what to expect in the first session.

How Person-Centred Work Fits with Online Therapy

Sophie uses Person-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people explore feelings, identity, grief and relationship issues by prioritising the client’s perspective and pace.

Person-Centred work is especially helpful when someone needs space to reflect rather than being taught techniques. It can support people coping with depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, sexuality and life changes by allowing them to make sense of their own experience in their own words.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sophie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide whether a person-centred way is the best fit. That discussion is collaborative and can be revisited as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Sophie aims to help clients make therapy fit their life while focusing on what matters most to them.
