About Sophia
Sophia Monerville is a counsellor with nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and she focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and a wide range of life challenges. Sophia aims to create a calm space where a worried parent can talk and begin to make sense of what is happening.
Sophia uses a blend of client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches to adapt to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions invite simple, honest conversation about relationships, grief, identity and day-to-day struggles. The work often looks at how past experiences shape current patterns, and what small changes might reduce pressure and improve coping. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, or career and self-esteem concerns.
Sophia has additional focus on issues such as attachment, body image, caregiving stress and neurodiversity. This lets her tailor conversations to practical problems as well as emotional ones. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and collaborative.
Sophia listens, reflects and helps people try out different ways of thinking and behaving. She encourages short, manageable steps and practical coping skills alongside deeper exploration of meaning and values. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Sophia’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens attentively and follows the individual's concerns so they can feel heard and make choices about change. This approach is helpful for people feeling stuck, anxious or unsure about next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to try out new ways of thinking and to reduce worrying or unhelpful behaviours. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, sleep and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use, based on the person's goals and how they respond in sessions. That collaborative planning can be reviewed as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats allow work to continue without travel and make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can suit day-to-day life.
