Sophia Jumagali, BACP

Sophia Jumagali is a counsellor with eight years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation and works from a blend of approaches to help people manage anxiety, low mood and stressful life changes. Sophia speaks English and Russian and offers therapy to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Her practice combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult feelings and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day. She often helps people build confidence, manage panic and reduce symptoms of depression.

Sophia also addresses grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, compassion fatigue and trauma and abuse. Additional areas she covers include communication and control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Her work can include support around career decisions and end-of-life or hospice matters.

She aims for an atmosphere that feels respectful and collaborative. People can expect clear tools and simple strategies to try between sessions. The emphasis is on understanding how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings, and on small, workable changes that add up over time.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that shape online therapy sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens openly and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and respected while they talk through issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the relationships between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic and shift unhelpful patterns over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then recommend ways of working that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and the ability to attend without travel. If you prefer a format that suits quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, please confirm the available session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online care that lets you continue therapy while managing work, family and other commitments.
