Sophia Madriaga

What tends to matter most is how it feels to work together, so I focus on building a relationship where you can be honest without worrying about being judged. That connection, paired with paying attention to how you're actually feeling in the moment, is often where the real work happens. Within that, we can bring in reflection, practical strategies, or a mix of both, depending on what's useful for you.

If it helps to see specifics, some of the areas I support include:

• Feeling overwhelmed or stuck – making sense of emotions, thoughts, and situations that feel hard to manage.
• Exploring identity and self-expression – including gender, sexuality, and personal growth, with a safe, non-judgemental space.
• Relationships and communication – navigating connections, setting boundaries, and improving understanding with others.
• Relationship diversity – supporting ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and other non-traditional relationship structures.
• Kink-aware support – a space to explore desire, boundaries, or community involvement without judgement.
• Life transitions and coping with change – from career shifts to personal challenges, loss, or uncertainty.
• Confidence and wellbeing – developing self-awareness, self-compassion, and resilience in everyday life.

I provide online sessions that fit around your schedule. My aim is to help you feel seen, understood, and able to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
