Sophie Sinclair-Brown , BACP

Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a UK-based psychotherapist who practices from a person-centered perspective and brings warmth and attentive listening to her work. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy - a postgraduate qualification focused on the theory and practice of person-centered therapeutic work.

Sophie has worked with people facing spousal and parental bereavement, relationship difficulties, and a range of challenging life events. Her experience also includes supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, people dealing with addictions, and those living with depression, anxiety, and personality-related difficulties. She offers a welcoming and affirming practice for clients from the LGBTQ+ community, identifying as lesbian and using she/her pronouns.

Her practice follows Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes an authentic, non-directive therapeutic relationship. Sessions are led by what the client wishes to explore, with Sophie focusing on understanding each person’s experience from their perspective and holding space for difficult emotions when they arise. This style aims to empower clients to use their own resources in pursuit of growth and self-understanding.

Sophie is clear about the strengths and limits of a non-directive approach - it is most helpful for people who want to explore underlying causes of distress rather than receive directive skills training or short-term symptom-focused techniques. She welcomes conversations before or during the first meeting to consider whether this style is a good fit and to work out the right kind of support for each individual.
