Sophia Monerville, BACP

Sophia Monerville is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has nine years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious or coping with life changes. She also supports clients with issues around relationships, intimacy, trauma, addiction and grief, among other concerns.

Sophia blends several therapy styles to shape each session around the person in front of her. Sessions focus on noticing patterns in relationships and daily life. That work aims to help people understand how past experiences affect present choices.

Her manner is warm and non-judgemental. Sophia works to create a space where people can speak openly and feel heard. She encourages clients to notice small shifts that can lead to clearer decision making and better emotional balance.

In practical terms she uses person-centred listening combined with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic thinking. Somatic ideas are brought in when bodily experience matters to what someone is describing. The mix is adapted to the individual rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Sophia welcomes people with a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD, self-esteem and chronic health challenges. To begin she asks people to reflect on current goals, then shapes a plan that feels manageable and realistic.

How Sophia’s approaches translate to online work

Sophia draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise listening and respect for each person’s experience. This approach focuses on understanding and empathy, and it helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and relationship patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy which offers practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping strategies for day-to-day stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as you progress. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise reflective conversation, practical CBT exercises or somatic attention to bodily sensations.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the formats available before booking since specific session types are not listed on her profile. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists often use remote counselling to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
