About Sophie
Counsellor, BACP Registered, three years' experience. Sophie Sinclair-Brown works mainly with relationship concerns, mood issues and questions of identity using Person-Centred Therapy. She offers a non-directive, client-led way of working and welcomes people from the LGBTQ+ community.
Sophie trained to Master's level in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and uses that model as her main approach. She explains things plainly and focuses on understanding a person's experience from their perspective rather than imposing an agenda. Sessions are led by what the client brings and may move between talking, reflecting and sitting with difficult feelings.
Her clinical work has included bereavement after spousal and parental loss, relationship difficulties, and navigating major life changes. She has also worked with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, addictions, and a range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety and mood disorders.
Sophie identifies as queer (lesbian, she/her) and notes that her practice is affirming for people from the LGBTQ+ community. She describes Person-Centred Therapy as non-directive and exploratory, which can feel unfamiliar if someone expects a therapy that teaches techniques or gives direct advice.
If a person prefers practical skills training or a more directive approach, Sophie is open to discussing suitability during an initial conversation. Her stated aim is to help clients work out whether person-centred therapy will meet their needs and to decide together how to proceed.

How Person-Centred Work Translates to Remote Sessions
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the client's experience and following what they want to explore. It aims to create a respectful, non-directive relationship where the client leads the topics and the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This approach can help with emotional processing, identity questions and relationship concerns by giving space to understand feelings and choices.Person-centred practice is exploratory rather than technique-driven. That means the counsellor will work collaboratively to find the right pace and focus, checking in about what feels useful. Deciding which methods to use is part of the ongoing conversation rather than a fixed plan set in advance.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as no specific remote formats are stated in the biography. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow someone to meet with a registered professional from their own region without commuting, while the counsellor and client agree together on the most practical ways to meet and work.
