About Sophie Robinson-Matthews
Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports people with their mental health and wider life wellbeing. She offers psychotherapeutic counselling that is tailored to each person, combining a person-centred core with an integrative approach so sessions reflect individual needs and goals.
Her person-centred foundation means she works from a place of warmth, acceptance, and compassion, believing people have the capacity to grow toward a more authentic self. Alongside that, she draws on a wide range of evidence-informed methods so work can be shaped around what best suits the client rather than following a single model.
Sophie blends seven formal years of psychology training with four years of formal counselling training and has worked in support services since 2012. She keeps her practice informed by ongoing professional development and by current research across psychology, counselling, neuroscience, mindfulness, and related fields. She also follows an ethical code for counsellors and aims to recommend approaches that have a sound evidence base.
Her practice is integrative in style, drawing from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, trauma-focused and somatic work, Internal Family Systems, hypnotherapy, Jungian ideas, and solution-focused methods. Sophie uses insight-oriented questions alongside practical tools to help clients deepen self-awareness and translate insights into behavioural change.
She works with a wide range of concerns including identity and attachment issues, anxiety and OCD, bereavement and grief, communication difficulties, women’s health matters, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, sleep problems, parenting and career issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, family of origin and family problems, fertility and caregiver stress, and forgiveness.
Sophie is happy to use the pronouns a client prefers. Her therapeutic style is encouraging, uplifting, and informed by lived practice. She describes her role as supporting people to gain greater autonomy, self-esteem, and hope so they can experience more joy and fewer conflicts or overwhelm. While psychotherapy outcomes depend on many factors, Sophie commits to offering support and practical tools aligned to each person’s aims.
