Sophia Hammoudeh
Practical therapy for stress, trauma and relationships
About Sophia
Sophia Hammoudeh helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction. She supports those coping with grief, relationship or intimacy worries, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges like low self-esteem or career stress. Sophia also works with people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger, and life transitions.
Sophia uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most troubling. She adapts sessions to each person rather than following a fixed formula. Sessions aim to make small changes that add up to better day-to-day coping and clearer priorities.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several therapies to suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on values and action. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships.
Client-centred work creates space for people to be heard and understood. Sophia has five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and can communicate in English and Arabic.
Sessions can be short-term or ongoing depending on what someone needs. People often come for a few focused sessions to deal with a specific problem, or for longer work to address deeper patterns. Sophia aims to make the first steps as clear and straightforward as possible.
To begin, a person can choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. This process helps match practical needs with therapeutic style.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people shift unhelpful interaction styles in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement, giving space for someone to explore feelings and decide what changes they want to make.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. Decisions about techniques and pace are made together, so adjustments can be made if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to face-to-face and let people use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or distance from a therapist and support consistent contact over time.
