Sophia Monerville, BACP

Sophia Monerville is a counsellor with nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as a foundation for offering thoughtful, person-focused therapy. Sophia aims to help people untangle difficult feelings and everyday problems in a calm, straightforward way.

Her style blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions begin with time to talk about what matters most. Sophia helps people notice patterns from the past that affect the present and then tries practical steps to change unhelpful habits.

Sophia often works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. She also supports people with issues such as addiction, grief, self-esteem, body image and sleep difficulties. There is attention to more specific challenges too, like ADHD, chronic illness, caregiving stress and intimacy-related concerns.

Therapy is offered in a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere. Sophia encourages people to explore how they relate to others and to themselves. Together they clarify goals and try realistic ways to reach them, whether that means learning new coping skills or reflecting on deeper life choices.

Her way of working aims to help people feel more able to cope day to day, to improve relationships, and to live in a way that feels more authentic. Anyone thinking about therapy is invited to start by describing what they want to change or understand better.

How Sophia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sophia uses client-centred therapy to create a listening, supportive space where the person's own goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the direction of sessions around what matters most to them.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sophia treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Clients and therapist agree on what to focus on and how progress will be checked.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow steady continuity when people move between locations or have health or mobility challenges.
