Sonia Spina is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She integrates person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.
Her clinical work has included support for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, bereavement including bereavement from suicide, hoarding, and challenging emotions such as low self-esteem and anger.
Sonia’s therapeutic manner is warm, friendly and empathic, and she aims to provide a safe, non-judgemental space in which people can explore what is troubling them. During her training she received personal counselling, which helped her work through issues and deepened her understanding of the client experience; she shares this to express empathy with the position of being a client.
She recognises that counselling can be difficult and that taking the first step may feel daunting. With empathic understanding, honesty and acceptance she hopes people will feel able and supported to talk about what matters to them. She looks forward to hearing from prospective clients.
Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or coping with life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional face-to-face sessions.
One major benefit is practical flexibility - you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists who offer online work are licensed professionals, and if you decide the fit is not right you are able to switch to a different therapist at any time.
