About Sonia
Sonia Spina offers a calm, straightforward space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. She introduces herself in an unhurried way and aims to help people talk through what is troubling them. Sonia uses approachable language and a warm manner to make first steps feel less daunting.
Sonia works from a blend of client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. That means she pays close attention to what a person wants to say and also looks at patterns from the past that shape current feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions are about making sense of painful emotions and testing new ways of responding. She has five years of counselling experience and is a BACP member, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is part of how she demonstrates professional standards in her practice.
Sonia commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with body image, attachment or abandonment issues, hoarding, panic attacks, self-harm and other emotional struggles. LGBT concerns and career-related stress are within her focus areas.
Her style is warm and empathic. Sonia aims to offer a non-judgemental space where people can explore difficult memories and current pressures. She understands how starting therapy can feel scary and works at a pace that suits each person.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Sonia’s practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines.

Online support
Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It can help people understand why certain feelings and reactions keep happening, which is useful for issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and ongoing emotional pain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Sonia will discuss options collaboratively and adapt the work to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or other commitments and allow continuity of care when meeting in person is not possible.
