About Sophia

Sophia Monerville is a counsellor with nine years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and other life challenges. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on several ways of working to meet each person's needs. Sophia aims to help people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She uses a blend of client-centred listening and practical techniques to help people notice patterns that cause distress. Sessions often look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours.

Background and approach

Sophia helps clients explore what they want and make small, realistic changes to daily life. Her approach is conversational and goal-focused when needed. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy are offered to manage anxiety, mood or sleep problems.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to make sense of recurring relationship difficulties and emotional reactions. Sophia also works with somatic methods to help people notice how the body holds stress and anxiety. This can be useful for trauma, chronic pain, or when emotions feel overwhelming.

She pays close attention to pacing so clients can work at a manageable speed. Common areas she supports include relationships, LGBT issues, addiction, parenting pressures, career stress, eating and body-image concerns, and neurodiversity topics such as autism and ADHD. Sophia aims to create a steady space where people can talk honestly and build coping strategies that fit their life.

How different approaches work online

Sophia commonly combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques when working remotely. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with life decisions, identity concerns and relationship confusion. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and gives clear strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic relationship. Sophia will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust the focus as progress is made. This collaborative way helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful and realistic for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing relationships and emotions matters most. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session support or when writing helps organise thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
