About Sonia Spina
Sonia’s clinical work has included support for anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, along with trauma-related concerns such as childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence. She has experience working with bereavement - including loss by suicide - hoarding and strong emotions like low self-esteem and anger. This range reflects a commitment to helping people address both long-standing patterns and immediate crises.
Her therapeutic manner is warm, friendly and empathic, and she seeks to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for exploring what is troubling a person. During her training Sonia undertook personal counselling, an experience that informs her practice and deepens her empathy for the challenges clients face. She recognises that beginning counselling can feel daunting and approaches that first step with honesty, acceptance and steady support. Sonia looks forward to hearing from prospective clients.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy
Sonia Spina draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and promotes self-awareness through empathy, active listening and unconditional positive regard - an approach that can help with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and life transitions. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and early experiences shape current patterns and emotional responses, offering a way to understand and work through deeper relational and attachment issues.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Registered professionals like Sonia work with clients to identify goals, preferences and needs, adjusting methods over time so the approach fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, family or mobility constraints. These options allow therapy to continue even when in-person meetings are difficult, while preserving continuity of care and making scheduling more convenient for busy lives.
