Sophia Churchouse, BACP, NCPS

Sophia Churchouse is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works with clients facing a wide range of concerns - from mood disorders and panic to relationship difficulties, caregiving stress, and the emotional impact of cancer - and adapts her approach to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Sophia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work, creating a space where clients can explore difficult experiences and build practical coping strategies. She collaborates with each person to tailor conversations and treatment plans, recognising that change requires both courage and ongoing support. Her practice also addresses issues such as dissociation, obsessive and compulsive patterns, addiction-related challenges, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Sophia holds professional registrations including BACP and NCPS, which reflect formal training and adherence to recognised professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. She offers a client-centred, evidence-informed approach that aims to empower people to make meaningful changes and to pursue a more fulfilling life. Sophia is based in the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Sophia Churchouse draws on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that emphasise practical skill-building and understanding unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on skills-based strategies to manage stress and anxiety - teaching grounding, breathing, and problem-solving tools that help reduce intense symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Another strand of her work is trauma-informed therapy, which prioritises safety and paced exploration of past harm to support recovery from trauma and abuse.

For clients dealing with addiction, Sophia incorporates relapse-prevention thinking and coping strategies aimed at managing urges and rebuilding routines. Throughout treatment she works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs and goals, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the plan reflects the client’s preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Sophia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular sessions without travel, support continuity of care during busy periods, and allow clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most effective for them.
