Sophia Clark, BACP

Sophia Clark is a person-centred counsellor who creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for people to explore who they are in the present moment. She holds BACP membership (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), an MSc in Clinical Psychology, a YTT-500 yoga teacher qualification which reflects an advanced 500-hour training, and the MBCAP designation noted in her training background.

Sophia’s practice emphasises allowing the whole of a person to be present in therapy, acknowledging that many people compartmentalise or minimise parts of themselves to meet others’ expectations. In her work, she offers steady, compassionate attention so that suppressed or sidelined experiences can be noticed and gradually welcomed back into awareness. This approach is often gentle and paced to the client’s readiness.

Over time that permission to be oneself in therapy can shift how a person thinks and feels, support the setting of new boundaries or intentions, and foster a greater sense of alignment and integration. For some people it can bring relief similar to getting something off their chest. While therapy does not make life easy, Sophia aims to help people meet life’s challenges with clearer self-knowledge and care, moving from feeling that life is happening to them toward an active, creative engagement with their needs and desires.

Person-centred and Yoga-informed approaches for online care

Person-centred therapy focuses on creating an accepting environment where the client’s own experiences guide the work. It encourages honest self-exploration and supports people in recognising and integrating parts of themselves that may have been sidelined, which can help with clearer thinking, boundary setting, and emotional processing.

Sophia also brings a yoga-informed perspective rooted in body awareness and breath-based practices. These gentle, experiential techniques can help people reconnect with bodily signals, manage stress, and support emotional regulation alongside talking therapy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sophia works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore whether person-centred listening, yoga-informed work, or a combination best supports progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and at times that suit your life. This range of options helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
