Hi, I’m Sofia, an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist (BACP). I have several years’ experience supporting people with anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and big life changes.
My approach is integrative — I use different styles of therapy (like CBT, attachment, and person-centred) and adapt them to what works best for you. I believe therapy should feel human and flexible, not “one-size-fits-all.”
I’ve worked with many people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by past experiences. Others come to me when they’re navigating relationship struggles, or adjusting to life abroad and the challenges that come with it. My role is to offer a safe, understanding space where you can explore what’s going on and start to find new ways forward.
My approach is warm, empathetic, and holistic. Together, we’ll work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you — so you can build resilience, find clarity, and move towards the life you want.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
