For the thoughts and feelings you don’t feel able to say anywhere else.

You might find your mind keeps going long after the day has finished, replaying conversations, worrying you said the wrong thing, or wondering why things feel harder for you than they seem to for others.

Maybe you’re holding a lot inside. You get through work, relationships, and daily life, but underneath you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself. You might not even know exactly what’s wrong, only that something doesn’t feel settled.

You don’t need a clear reason to reach out. Sometimes it’s simply a sense that you can’t keep carrying everything on your own.

Sophia Madriaga

I’m Sophia, a counsellor working online across the UK. I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you can talk openly at your own pace, whether you have something specific you want to work through or you’re still trying to make sense of how you feel.

You won’t need to prepare or know what to say, we can begin wherever you are.

Get in touch

If you’re thinking about reaching out but feel unsure, that’s completely okay.

You don’t need to know exactly what you want to say, or whether what you’re dealing with is “serious enough”. Many people contact me simply because something doesn’t feel right, or they feel stuck and can’t quite put it into words yet.

You’re welcome to send a message just to ask a question, or to see whether working together might feel like a good fit. There’s no pressure to continue after an initial conversation.
