She is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists, and brings a calm, empathetic presence to each therapeutic partnership.
Sofia practices an integrative style, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. She adapts her approach to what works best for the individual, aiming for therapy that feels human and flexible instead of one-size-fits-all.
Many people come to Sofia feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or affected by past experiences; others seek support for relationship struggles, life transitions, or the complexities of adjusting to life abroad. In sessions she offers an understanding, nonjudgmental space to explore those concerns, gradually building tools and perspectives that help clients move forward.
Her manner is warm and holistic, and she works at the client’s pace to focus on what matters most. The goal is to help people develop resilience, gain clarity, and take practical steps toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand attachment styles, repair relational wounds, and build more secure ways of connecting with others, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, trust, and intimacy difficulties.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s experience leads the work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and finding personal direction when dealing with stress, low self-esteem, or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with challenging day-to-day patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sofia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The selection of techniques evolves as therapy progresses, with the client’s priorities guiding the work.
Online therapy with Sofia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. Remote sessions can make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and licensed professionals can adapt interventions effectively in these formats.
