About Sophia
Sophia Jumagali uses a practical, evidence-informed approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. She is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience and works in English and Russian. Sophia focuses on helping people feel steadier, more confident, and better able to cope with everyday pressures.
She draws on client-centred principles to put the person's needs first and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different coping strategies.
Background and approach
Sophia also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed, with simple tools to use between meetings. Clients come for help with a wide range of concerns such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addictions, burnout and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, seasonal mood shifts, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. The focus is on practical changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sophia has worked alongside health and support organisations and draws on eight years of clinical practice to inform her work.
She aims to explain psychological ideas in plain language rather than clinical terms. This helps people understand what is happening and what steps to try next. Therapy typically combines talking, skill-building and reflective work.
Sophia encourages a collaborative process where clients pick the pace and focus. The goal is clearer thinking, improved coping, and a stronger sense of self over time.

Approaches that fit online therapy
Sophia often draws on trauma-focused work to help people process events that continue to affect daily life. This approach looks at how past experiences shape thoughts, feelings and reactions, and uses paced interventions to reduce ongoing distress.She also uses client-centred therapy, which means listening carefully and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This helps people feel heard while they decide what to tackle first. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and trial practical changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that suit the person's goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as work progresses so the approach matches what is helpful in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel, and give flexible ways to continue therapy when life changes.
