Sonja Wittig, NCPS

Sonja Wittig offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She introduces herself clearly and simply, making it easier for someone worried to take the first step. Sessions are offered in English and German and Sonja works with issues related to sexual orientation and past trauma. Sonja uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She encourages people to talk about what matters to them and listens without imposing solutions. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with overwhelming thoughts and to bring attention back to the present. Her work also draws on somatic techniques that pay attention to body sensations when trauma or chronic stress feel stuck. Trauma-focused methods are used to address memories and responses that get in the way of daily life. Together these approaches aim to make emotional distress easier to understand and manage. Sonja holds the NCPS credential and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. That background has informed her straightforward way of working and her emphasis on practical coping skills. She asks clients to set the pace so work proceeds at a comfortable level. If someone is ready to begin, Sonja suggests a short matching process and a first session to agree goals. Her style is collaborative, calm and rooted in everyday language so people can focus on their concerns without jargon.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting rather than directing. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and choose next steps. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood because it teaches small skills to use between sessions. Sonja also draws on somatic work to pay attention to body sensations tied to trauma or chronic stress. These techniques help people notice where tension lives and learn ways to release or work with it safely. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as work progresses so the approach fits the person's needs. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into their week and to continue between appointments. Online sessions can lower travel time, make shorter check-ins possible, and let someone join from a quieter space at home or work. Confirm which session options the therapist currently offers before booking so arrangements match practical needs.
