Sophia Jumagali, BACP

Sophia Jumagali is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage difficult feelings. She brings eight years of practice to sessions and communicates in English and Russian. Sophia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Her style is straightforward and practical. She helps people understand how their thinking and habits affect mood and behaviour. Sessions often focus on small, workable steps to reduce anxiety, lift low mood, or regain a sense of control after loss or life change. Sophia also addresses issues such as stress, relationship strain, jealousy, grief and addictions. Sophia draws on a mix of approaches including mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives alongside client-centred and CBT techniques. That mix allows space for exploring past patterns while teaching tools for day-to-day coping. She aims to boost confidence, improve focus, and help people build healthier routines. Her background includes work with health-related organisations and supporting people through bereavement and major transitions. Sophia has experience with clients who identify as neurodivergent and with those facing long-term health challenges. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set achievable goals. Practical outcomes Sophia supports include better emotional regulation, clearer thinking, reduced anxiety, and a more positive relationship with oneself. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this practical, exploratory style feels like a good fit before starting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the client’s experience and aims to create a respectful, understanding space. It is useful for people who need to feel heard while they work through feelings like jealousy, grief or low self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical, step-by-step strategies for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts and low mood, and often includes simple exercises to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and which methods feel most comfortable. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the approach as needs change.

Please confirm which session formats Sophia currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also let someone choose not to use video if a phone call or another format suits better. Many people find the flexibility helps them maintain consistency and carry therapeutic skills into daily life.
