Sophia Monerville is a counsellor with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in a straightforward, supportive way to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and a wide range of life challenges. Sophia holds BACP accreditation and uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person.

Her sessions focus on opening space to understand how past experiences shape present relationships and choices. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that cause distress.

Background and approach

Conversations are grounded and practical so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. Sophia draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s needs central. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

She also brings psychodynamic and existential perspectives to look at deeper themes such as meaning, identity and attachment. People come for help with relationship problems, grief, addiction, eating or sleep issues, parenting strain, career doubts, and coping with health or life transitions. Additional focuses include ADHD, attachment and body image concerns, and aspects of alternative sexual culture like BDSM and kink.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sophia aims to work collaboratively, helping each person set practical goals and build skills for everyday life.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person and their priorities. This approach involves listening deeply and responding to what each person says, which helps build trust and clarity about what matters most in therapy.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other. It is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with life stresses by teaching skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Psychodynamic and existential ideas are also used to explore deeper themes such as identity, attachment and life meaning. These approaches help when someone wants to understand long-standing patterns or emotional responses that affect relationships and day-to-day life.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide what fits best based on goals, preferences and what arises in sessions. That means methods can shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, and live chat or text messaging allows short check-ins or a written way to process thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
