D. Sophia Arthur-Uchendu, BACP

D. Sophia Arthur-Uchendu (BACP) is a United Kingdom based therapist with five years of professional experience who works primarily with adults across a wide range of life stages and concerns. She is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - commonly known as BACP - and brings a pluralistic, client-centered approach that adapts to each person rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Her practice is trauma informed and she combines trauma-focused work with psychoeducation to help clients understand patterns and build coping strategies. She commonly draws on evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside psychodynamic perspectives and other modalities as needed, keeping the client at the center of the therapeutic process and offering unconditional positive regard throughout treatment.

Sophia works with individuals, couples and groups on relationship difficulties across families, friendships and sibling dynamics, and she supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and blended family matters, communication and family problems, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration issues, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, men’s issues and midlife transitions.

She welcomes clients seeking Christian faith based therapy and tailors interventions to each person’s background and needs. Sophia aims to partner with clients on practical and reflective work that honors their life journey and helps them move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.
