About Sidonia
Sidonia Stiles is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred style and draws on relationship-focused approaches to help people with anxiety, stress, depression and bereavement. She also supports people facing difficulties with intimacy, addiction, self-esteem and workplace or parenting strains.
She has 27 years of experience in related roles and worked for a decade as a group worker with residential young people for the local council.
Background and approach
That time involved supporting individuals through difficult relationship dynamics and family tensions, which informs her current practice. Sidonia trained with recognised UK awarding bodies and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Her formal qualifications include a Higher National Diploma in Person Centred Counselling and a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Therapy with CPCAB.
In sessions she pays attention to a person’s upbringing and family patterns. She often uses genograms to map family relationships and recurring themes. For grief work she draws on Gestalt ideas to help people find respectful ways to process loss.
Sidonia offers online work alongside evening and weekend practice hours. She speaks English and Portuguese and can work with people in either language. Practical details about formats and how to begin are available through the directory's booking process.

How Sidonia’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and conflict, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship issues. Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and direction of sessions, useful for things like grief, low self-esteem and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sidonia will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something is not working.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual contact helps the work, phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
