Sophia Dar helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. She works with grief, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Sophia also supports concerns such as body image, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, workplace issues and multicultural matters.

Sophia uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also offers hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices to build calmer responses to stress.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around the individual. Sophia values simple, practical steps and clear goals. She often focuses on what can change now, while also looking at patterns that repeat over time.

Sophia has eleven years of experience and holds a NCPS credential. Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Health and Well Being: Individuals and Communities, a diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling, and a diploma in hypnotherapy and counselling. She provides sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Service formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the platform. Sophia aims to make therapy manageable and focused.

She offers guidance, active listening and practical tools to help people move forward from difficult moments.

Approaches you can use online

CBT or cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow. It teaches practical techniques to test and reframe thinking and is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood.

Hypnotherapy draws on guided relaxation and focused attention to help change habits and responses. It can be useful for smoking or vaping cessation, stress reduction and lowering arousal linked to panic or obsessive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is a shared task between therapist and client. Sophia will discuss goals, listen to your preferences and try different tools to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to your life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins or want to reflect between messages. These formats make it easier to keep momentum in therapy and to work around work and family commitments.
