About Sophie
Sophie Bellamy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' clinical experience. She works with people facing a wide range of difficulties, including anger, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and career challenges. Sophie also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and stress related to caregiving or chronic illness.
Sophie uses an integrative, developmentally informed approach. She draws on attachment ideas and Gestalt-influenced ways of working to understand how early experiences and relationships shape present reactions. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, identifying triggers, and finding practical ways to respond differently in daily life.
Her style is person-focused and direct. People can expect conversations that look at past experiences and how those shape current feelings and behaviour. Sophie helps identify small, manageable steps to reduce reactivity and improve self-awareness around anger and stress.
Therapy addresses emotional responses and relationship patterns together. This can include exploring attachment dynamics, emotional regulation, and the meanings behind strong feelings. Sophie also incorporates elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the work.
Practical life changes and skills are mixed with deeper reflection. Clients are invited to notice what keeps repeating, try new responses, and track what feels different. Sophie accepts international clients and works in English.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anger that feels overwhelming or driven by unhelpful thought patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current reactions in close relationships. It is useful when anger is tied to fear of abandonment, mistrust, or repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then use elements from different approaches to suit the person. That way the methods tried are a match for the issues a person wants to address.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or life commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Ask about the specific session options available when you arrange your first appointment.
