Sonja Wittig helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma to find clearer ways forward. She speaks English and German and works with clients who have LGBT concerns and life changes. Sonja is based in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience offering practical, person-focused support.

She creates a calm space where people can say what they are feeling without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on labels.

Background and approach

Sonja aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace. Her approach combines listening with techniques that bring attention to the body and present moment. That can help when anxiety, dissociation, or trauma make thoughts feel overwhelming.

She draws on client-centred work to keep the conversation rooted in each person’s needs. Sonja also uses mindfulness to build steady awareness and somatic tools to notice how stress shows up in the body. For people dealing with grief, relationship pain, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image or shame, this combination can offer practical ways to cope.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues as they appear in relationships and recovery. She is registered NCPS and brings four years of practice to sessions. People are encouraged to take small steps, name a current problem, and try approaches that fit their life.

Sonja supports clients through change with clear, steady guidance and everyday language.

How Sonja’s approaches work online

Sonja offers client-centred work that puts the person's immediate concerns first and helps shape sessions around what matters most. This approach is about listening carefully and responding to each person's goals rather than following a fixed plan.

She also uses mindfulness methods to build steady attention to thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness can help reduce rumination and increase calm when anxiety or depression make thinking feel stuck. Somatic therapy is part of her practice too and focuses on noticing bodily sensations linked to stress or trauma, which can be useful for people who feel emotions in their bodies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what feels most helpful for the person’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual contact helps communication, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter conversations, ongoing check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from different locations.
