Sophie is amazing! She's the first therapist I've had who I feel really listens to and analyzes what I say, and she expresses sympathy and concern in a way that feels warm yet professional. She challenges me to examine my feelings, and thanks to her, I've been able to see some things from a different perspective. I never feel judged by her. I'm always surprised about how much she knows about so many things. I know I'm in good hands with Sophie and would whole-heartedly recommend her.

Welcome to Better Help
I am a qualified MBACP registered Integrative Counsellor, with 9 years experience working in mental health.
I have worked with a wide range of clients including children, teens and adults that present with a variety of issues and concerns from all different backgrounds.
I specialise in treating relational issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and emotional regulation issues.
My therapy approach is set in a person centred foundation, I believe building a therapeutic relationship by establishing trust and rapport is paramount. I am eclectic in the theories I use and depending on your needs I may use different theoretical approaches, such as - solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, transactional analysis, mindfulness, psychodynamic. Whichever approach we use we will focus on your abilities and skills to help you achieve your individualised goals.
When working with clients I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive and respectful. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in doing great things and overcoming challenges. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
So whether you are seeking change for a healthier happier life, or just need a non judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sophie is very compassionate and a good listener. During the course of our sessions, I always felt like she was focused on helping me and providing guidance through a difficult time. She really understood the essence of my struggles and gave me the feeling that she did understand my perspective. I can only recommend her!
Sophie is one of the most empathetic, understanding, and thoughtful people I have ever met. As a counselor, she is kind and compassionate. She is also curious and asks the perfect questions that show she really listens, nudging me to think about things in new ways that I never would have been able to without her. She has helped and continues to help me make significant progress in my mental health journey.
Sophie is has been amazing for me. She makes me feel comfortable I can really open up
Sophie is great!
I really look forward to my weekly sessions with Sophie and they have been nothing short of transformative. Not only do I feel heard, valued, validated and respected, but she has set me up with the tools I require to navigate difficult relationships for life. She is friendly, extremely knowledgeable and so, so good at her job! Anybody would be lucky to have her as their therapist and I could not recommend her more!
I have been seeing therapist Sophie Archer for the last few weeks, and I can honestly say she has been instrumental in my progress. As someone who usually keeps things to themselves, I was hesitant to open up, but Sophie created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable doing so. She has been immensely helpful in guiding me through family issues, setting healthy boundaries, and managing my anxiety. Her kindness, empathy, and expertise make her an outstanding therapist, and I am grateful to have found her. I feel confident that Sophie will continue to help me grow and improve as time passes.
Sophie is dependable and so easy to talk to I love her advise and feel comfortable telling her things I'd normally not speak about
