About
Sidonia Stiles (Sonia for short) runs a private practice from a fitness centre in Eastbourne, United Kingdom. She works as a Person Centred Therapist and as a Relationship Psychodynamic Therapist.
She supports people with relationship difficulties as well as bereavement, anxiety, stress and depression. Sidonia has also worked with the LGBT community in both relationship work and one-to-one therapy.
Prior to qualifying as a counsellor she spent ten years working as a group worker for the local council, supporting residential young people and working with families and challenging relationship dynamics.
Her formal training and qualifications include registration with the BACP, an HND Diploma (2006) in Person Centred counselling and a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Therapy (2019) awarded by CPCAB.
Sidonia pays particular attention to the meaning each person places on their upbringing and family life, and she uses genograms as a clinical tool to explore those patterns. She also works with bereavement and loss, drawing on Gestalt theory to understand grief and to respect each person’s experience.
She runs a private practice in Eastbourne most evenings from 6-8pm and at weekends. Due to Covid she is also offering online sessions. Further information is available on Downs Counseling Services online.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most situations.
One significant benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients may change therapist if they prefer a different fit. Online formats make it simple to access regular support without changing the core therapeutic relationship or goals.
