Sophia Hammoudeh, BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, low self‑esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges around parenting and career changes. Sophia works in English and Arabic and practises from the United Kingdom.

She keeps sessions straightforward and adaptable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, practical steps people can use between meetings. Sophia listens for patterns that keep problems going and offers ways to try things differently in everyday life.

Sophia draws on several approaches to shape therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationships affect current bonds and reactions. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy supports stronger emotional connection and clearer communication in close relationships.

Her style is warm and non‑judgemental. Clients set the pace and the topics. Sophia aims to make sessions feel accessible rather than clinical, so people can bring their real worries and practical constraints.

She has five years of experience and holds BACP membership, which shows professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sophia accepts international clients and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and messaging to meet people where it fits their life.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment‑based therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they shape present connections and emotional reactions, which can help with intimacy and relationship worries. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy focuses on emotions in close relationships and aims to improve communication and emotional bond by identifying needs and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to clarify your goals, try an approach, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way people can test what feels useful and stop what does not fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and use visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check‑ins, ongoing reflections between meetings, or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and daily life.
