Sophia Hammoudeh , BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh is a UK-based therapist working from Devon with five years of clinical experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She specialises in trauma and related concerns that can disrupt day-to-day functioning and emotional balance, and she also supports people facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and a wide range of life transitions and mental health concerns.

Sophia adopts a flexible, client-centered approach that recognises there is no single solution that fits everyone. She tailors care around each person’s history, needs, and goals, drawing on evidence-informed therapies to address attachment difficulties, intimacy and communication problems, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue among other issues. Her practice embraces both short-term focus and deeper relational work depending on what best serves the client.

Throughout her work Sophia aims to create a respectful and empathic space for people who are taking the often-difficult step of seeking support. Her profile highlights her clinical interests and therapeutic style so prospective clients and referrers can better understand the kinds of issues she addresses and the perspectives she brings to therapeutic work.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Support

Sophia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, build psychological flexibility, and respond differently to painful thoughts and emotions - an approach often useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional reactions, which can be particularly helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to identify and transform core emotional responses in relationships, supporting couples and individuals who want to improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sophia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to continue through life changes and across locations.
