Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sophie Howe
Sophie Howe draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and commit to meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT often supports people facing anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions by combining acceptance skills with behaviour change strategies.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in close connections. This approach can help clients working through abandonment, attachment issues, relationship conflicts, and family dynamics by increasing insight and improving emotional connection.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach Sophie integrates, offering practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT can be especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Sophie works with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
