Sonia "Nina" Sweeney, BACP, NCPS

Sonia "Nina" Sweeney welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures or the long-term effects of trauma. She is presented as someone who helps carers and other clients untangle difficult emotions and find more manageable ways to cope. Nina uses straightforward, calm language and aims to make sessions feel practical and down-to-earth.

Nina draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters to each person. That means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead to understand their experience. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to work through experiences that continue to cause pain and distress.

Her profile records nine years of professional experience and lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and membership of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She lives and works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, and she accepts international clients.

In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship and helps people name feelings, notice patterns and try manageable steps between meetings. Practical topics she commonly addresses include sleep disruption, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, anger and relationship communication problems.

People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Nina uses Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s priorities so each meeting stays focused on what matters most. This approach can help with stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harming events. That work involves carefully processing distressing memories and reactions, learning coping strategies and pacing the work so it feels manageable. It is often used for survivors of abuse, persistent trauma symptoms and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nina collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try, and she adjusts plans based on individual goals and how a person responds. The process is gradual and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or quieter, focused conversations when that suits a person’s schedule.
