About Sonia
Sonia Spina is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She offers a calm, friendly presence and practical support for people weighed down by grief, low self-esteem or major life changes. Sonia brings five years of professional experience and works with a wide range of concerns including depression, panic attacks and issues around identity and sexuality.
Her style draws on person-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she listens closely and helps people notice patterns in relationships and feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations often look at how past experiences shape current reactions, so people can make different choices going forward. Sonia aims to create a non-judgemental space where difficult topics are named and worked through at a comfortable pace. She acknowledges that starting therapy can feel daunting and offers straightforward, honest feedback to help people move forward.
Practical coping strategies are used alongside reflective work on deeper issues. Her experience covers trauma, bereavement, hoarding, attachment and challenges such as abandonment, infidelity and dissociation. Sonia also supports people dealing with body image, self-harm and the emotional impact of separation or divorce.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sonia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and practices within the United Kingdom.
How Sonia’s approaches work online
Sonia uses client-centred work that focuses on a person's experience in the moment. This approach involves careful listening and reflecting back what is felt, which helps people feel heard and build self-understanding. It suits anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties where emotional support is needed.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how earlier relationships and events influence current patterns. That work helps when repetitive relationship issues, abandonment or attachment concerns are causing distress and people want to understand why they react the way they do.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sonia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The work is collaborative, so plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let people fit sessions around work, travel or unpredictable schedules, while keeping continuity of care with a single counsellor.
