Sophia Hammoudeh, BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps with sexual dysfunction alongside a wide range of emotional and life concerns. She supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also works with concerns such as addictions, anger, sleep and eating problems, and parenting strain. Sophia holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her profile.

She aims to make sessions adaptable to each person's needs. She does not use a one-size-fits-all approach and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. Sessions are conversational and grounded, with room to talk about feelings and behaviour in everyday terms.

Her clinical work draws on a few complementary approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose values-guided action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships that affect current connections. Client-Centred Therapy creates a space where the person leads the pace and focus of their work.

Sophia has five years of experience working with these issues and related concerns such as body image, codependency, chronic illness, and communication problems. She is able to work in English and Arabic and accepts international clients.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses mindfulness and chosen actions to reduce avoidance and move toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, depression and intimacy concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. Working online, this approach can help people recognise and change repeating patterns that affect trust, closeness and communication.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the helm of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection rather than direction. This approach supports people who need space to talk things through at their own pace and discover their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Sophia will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals, preferences and situation. They will review progress together and adapt the plan as needed.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow sessions in different time zones, which helps people who live abroad or travel frequently.
