Sophie Howe, BACP

Sophie Howe is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, concentration and focus concerns such as ADHD, and anger that affects work or close relationships. Sophie aims to help people handle difficult feelings and day-to-day pressures more clearly and practically.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sophie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to look at how thoughts and behaviours link to feelings. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - ideas to help clients notice difficult emotions without being driven by them.

Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses formed early in life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when people want to understand and change how they connect with others. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her approach, with the person leading the pace and topics of each session.

Sophie works in short, plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She helps clients set small, manageable goals for change and tests what works. Her background emphasises listening first, then building straightforward strategies to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.

People who come to Sophie for help with anger often want clearer ways to express frustration, reduce snapping at others, or manage built-up resentment. She supports clients in noticing triggers, practising different responses, and tracking progress over time.
