Sophia Hammoudeh , BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh is a BACP-accredited therapist based in Devon who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses strongly on trauma and related difficulties that can affect day-to-day functioning, while also supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, and many other areas of life.

Working in both English and Arabic, she adopts a flexible, individualised approach rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Her practice emphasises adapting techniques and pace to each person’s history, needs, and preferences, with attention to attachment patterns, emotional processing, and practical coping strategies.

Sophia uses a mix of well-established therapies to address difficulties arising from trauma, intimacy and relationship problems, career pressures, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other concerns. Her style is collaborative and client-centered, aimed at helping people make meaningful changes and regain a sense of balance and agency in their lives.

She maintains professional standards in line with her BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with individuals across a broad range of issues and life stages.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and trauma that affects trust and connection.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, using empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to help individuals build self-understanding and confidence. It supports work on self-esteem, grief, identity, and complex emotional concerns.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Sophia collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to adapt methods accordingly so therapy feels like a good fit. Licensed professionals aim to tailor pacing and techniques to individual circumstances.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow sessions from home or elsewhere, and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
