Sonja Wittig
Calm, practical support for painful feelings
About Sonja
Sonja Wittig helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or the impact of past abuse. She welcomes clients who are navigating LGBT matters or major life changes and aims to make the first step easier. Sonja speaks English and German and practices from the United Kingdom.
She holds NCPS as a credential and brings four years of professional experience. In sessions she focuses on listening first. Sonja creates calm space so people can say what they are feeling.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation and gentle guidance rather than technical language. This often makes it simpler to talk about painful memories or confusing emotions. Her work draws on client-centred and mindfulness approaches.
That means the person sets the pace and Sonja offers support that follows their needs. She also uses somatic ideas to help people notice how their body holds stress, and trauma-focused techniques when past harm is part of the story.
Common concerns she helps with include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems and feelings of emptiness. Sonja also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, guilt, shame and forgiveness. Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.
Sessions are offered online in a variety of formats to fit different rhythms and preferences. Sonja aims to work collaboratively so each person finds their own way forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's concerns and pace at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can decide what to work on. It is useful for depression, low mood and life changes where understanding and acceptance are central.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety. Short exercises in breathing and focused noticing are used in session and as manageable practices between meetings. These techniques help with stress regulation and rumination.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Sonja will suggest options and adapt methods so the work fits each person's needs rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical tools.
