Sophie Sinclair-Brown, BACP

Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a person-centred psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a compassionate, non-directive approach to clinical work. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy - a postgraduate qualification focused on humanistic, client-led work. With three years of practice, Sophie has supported people through spousal and parental bereavement, relationship difficulties, and other significant life transitions.

Her experience includes working with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, individuals coping with addictions, and people experiencing both general and complex mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety, and personality-related difficulties. As a queer-identifying therapist (lesbian, she/her), Sophie aims to provide a welcoming and affirming space for clients from the LGBTQ+ community.

Working from a person-centred therapy framework, Sophie prioritises an authentic, accepting therapeutic relationship and seeks to understand each person from their own perspective. Her practice is non-directive - sessions are guided by what the client chooses to bring, with the therapist facilitating personal exploration rather than imposing agendas or techniques. This emphasis on client agency is intended to empower people to lead their own process of growth and healing.

Sophie recognises that the freedom of non-directive work can feel unfamiliar or overwhelming at first, and she acknowledges that arriving without a clear agenda is a normal part of the therapeutic process. She also notes that person-centred therapy may not suit everyone, particularly those seeking a more directive approach or a therapist focused primarily on skills training and symptom management. Sophie is open to discussing any concerns about fit so that potential clients can determine whether this style of therapy aligns with their needs.
