Sonja Wittig, NCPS

Sonja Wittig welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. She is experienced in supporting LGBT concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sonja speaks English and German and practises in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of professional experience to her work.

Sonja aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. She creates a space where people can talk honestly about thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps forward.

Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's priorities at the centre. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with intense emotions and somatic ideas to notice how the body responds to stress. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting daily life.

Sonja often helps with issues such as attachment or abandonment worries, body image and self-blame, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and difficulties after separation. She also supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are practical and paced to the individual's needs. Sonja encourages people to try small changes between sessions and reviews what helps. She aims to make the process feel manageable from the first meeting onward.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life

Sonja uses client-centred work, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and move at their pace. This approach helps when someone needs straightforward support to talk through what matters most. Mindfulness therapy is also part of her practice; it teaches simple breathing and attention skills to calm strong feelings and reduce rumination.

She also brings somatic ideas into sessions, helping people notice how stress shows up in the body and learn small ways to ease physical tension. These methods can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses, chronic pain and when emotions feel stuck. Together these approaches offer different routes to change - talking, noticing the body, and practising attention skills - and Sonja will work with each person to find what helps best.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit support around work, caregiving or medical appointments. Video sessions allow visual connection for deeper conversation, phone calls can be a good lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or paced sharing. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and flexible while tailoring the way of working to each person's needs.
