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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
