Sophie Hellyer
Transform sustainability initiatives with Sophie Hellyer, speaker and environmental advocate. Sophie works with organisations to promote ocean conservation, inclusive culture, and ethical practices, delivering impactful insights featured in The Independent and GQ Magazine.


Sophie Hellyer, a native of Devon, first made a name for herself as a talented surfer at a national level during her teenage years. However, as her career progressed, she focused on fostering a more diverse and inclusive surfing culture. Alongside this, she became a prominent advocate for ocean pollution and sustainability.
Sophie's unwavering honesty and outspoken nature led her to deliver a TEDx talk on sustainability in 2018. In addition, she has written extensively on feminist and environmental issues, including topics such as plastic-free periods, ethical fashion, and flight shame. Her work has been featured in prestigious publications like The Independent and GQ Magazine.
To further empower women, Sophie founded the #RiseFierce collective to inspire them to try cold-water swimming. Through hosting retreats and events, she hopes to create a community of like-minded women who promote positivity, mindfulness, and meaningful change in society.
Sophie brings a unique blend of professional athleticism, environmental advocacy, and feminist insight to the table, offering a fresh and impactful perspective on sustainability and inclusivity. Her experience in fostering diverse communities and her engaging storytelling ability can inspire your team or business to embrace meaningful change. Booking Sophie as a speaker will not only enlighten your audience on critical global issues but also motivate them to take actionable steps towards a more sustainable and equitable future.

To book Sophie Hellyer, email sophie.hellyer@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Sophie's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
