About Sophia

Sophia Monerville is a BACP counsellor with nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She brings a blend of humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural influences to each session. Sophia aims to help people notice patterns in their relationships and day-to-day life so they can make clearer choices about what feels right for them.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel steadier, build self-esteem, and manage problems such as sleep or eating difficulties and addiction-related issues. Sophia also works with concerns linked to identity, LGBT experience, grief, and career questions.

Her way of working blends short-term practical steps with deeper exploration of past experiences. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to address unhelpful thinking and coping habits. Psychodynamic and existential ideas are offered when looking at how past patterns and personal meaning shape present choices.

Somatic ideas are sometimes included to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. Sophia tailors each plan based on the person in front of her, not a fixed method. She also helps people address complex areas like ADHD, attachment or caregiver stress, and intimacy-related worries.

Sophia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people to build awareness, try different ways of relating, and take practical steps that fit their everyday life. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Sophia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, accepting space where the person’s own goals guide the work. It helps people who want a supportive, non-judgemental place to talk about stress, relationships and identity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and coping skills and often includes practical homework between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sophia works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means the shape of sessions can change as things improve or shift.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, allows for shorter check-ins if needed, and removes the need to travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity when life gets hectic, while still allowing space for deeper work when required.
