About Sonja
Sonja Wittig is a counsellor who aims to make the first step feel simpler. She speaks English and German and works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns. Sonja emphasises a warm, accepting tone so people can say what they need to say without fear of judgement.
Sonja has four years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. She uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs rather than following a single method.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on helping people feel heard and on building practical steps they can try between meetings. Her approach is client-centred, which means conversations follow what matters most to the person attending. Mindfulness techniques are brought in to help with regulation of emotions and to reduce persistent worry.
Somatic and trauma-focused work are offered to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and to learn ways of responding differently. People can expect straightforward language and short-term tools when appropriate, alongside deeper work when it is needed. Sonja encourages small experiments that fit everyday life so progress feels manageable.
She supports international clients and runs sessions in multiple formats to suit different schedules. To begin, she asks people to share what brought them to therapy and what outcomes matter most. From there she and the client agree on a plan that feels doable and tailored to the person's situation.

Ways of working Sonja names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Online approaches for trauma, body and mind
Sonja uses trauma-focused therapy to help people address difficult memories and the ways those memories affect daily life. This work often includes careful pacing and techniques to reduce overwhelming reactions. Client-centred therapy is a simple, relational approach where the counsellor follows what matters to the person and builds understanding from there. Mindfulness therapy teaches short exercises to calm the mind and manage rumination, which can be helpful for anxiety and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sonja works collaboratively to decide what to try first, checks in about what is helpful, and adapts plans as goals change. That means some people try short mindfulness or grounding practices, while others do more body-focused or trauma-focused work depending on their needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be quicker to arrange, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works best for their routine and comfort.
