About Sonja
Sonja Wittig is a counsellor who aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. She meets clients with a calm, straightforward style and encourages honest talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are offered in English and German and Sonja has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
In the room she focuses on making a non-judgemental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns such as attachment hurts, abandonment worries, or persistent shame and guilt, then helps clients name those patterns. Work often includes grounding and body-focused techniques alongside reflective conversation. She draws on client-centred ideas to put the person's concerns first and uses mindfulness tools to help calm the body and mind.
Somatic methods may be introduced for people who notice strong physical reactions linked to stress or past trauma. Trauma-focused work is available for those carrying difficult memories. Sonja supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, communication problems and codependency.
She also helps with long-term health issues, caregiver stress, body-image concerns and the emotional impact of serious illness. Practical steps and small experiments in daily life are common parts of her approach. Her NCPS credential is listed as part of her professional details.
To begin a course of sessions she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Approaches Sonja lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and rumination. These exercises are easy to practise during video or phone sessions and can be assigned as short daily practices between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sonja treats that choice as collaborative. She talks through different methods, notices what helps in early sessions, and adjusts the plan based on the person's goals and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the counsellor and client work face to face for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit brief check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health demands while keeping the focus on steady progress.
