About Sophie
Sophie Archer is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and issues around identity and intimacy. She also supports people struggling with sleep, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and career-related stress. Sophie works in English and practices from the United Kingdom.
Sophie’s way of working is straightforward and relational. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the person.
Background and approach
She focuses on building trust so people can talk openly and begin to make small, manageable changes. Sophie brings warmth and a calm presence to sessions. She uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs.
That includes Jungian ideas about meaning and inner experience, attachment-based work that looks at how relationships shape feelings, and practical methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Dialectical behaviour techniques and client-centred listening also inform her practice.
Sophie has five years of experience in mental health work and holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She describes the person she meets as the expert of their story and focuses on strengths and coping skills. Therapy with Sophie typically involves talking, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between sessions.
She aims for a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore concerns and find clearer ways forward.

Online support
How different approaches work in online sessions
Sophie uses Jungian Therapy to look at personal symbols, dreams and deeper patterns that shape feelings and choices; this can help people wondering about life purpose, identity or repeated emotional difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence how someone connects and manages emotion, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment and relationship concerns.Client-Centred Therapy underpins her practice by prioritising an accepting, non-judgemental stance and by listening closely. Together the approaches let Sophie blend exploration of meaning with practical steps to manage symptoms. She will work collaboratively to find which mix suits a person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break from work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, pacing support over days, or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to slot therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on the goals discussed in sessions.
