About Sonia
Before qualifying she spent 25 years in social care, and that background shapes how she works now. She draws on plain language and steady attention to help people talk through the practical parts of their lives. Sessions focus on what is happening day to day, not on jargon or labels.
Sonia uses client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also brings in cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thinking and small behavioural changes. Elements of psychodynamic thinking are used when exploring how past relationships affect present patterns.
People come to Sonia with family conflict, divorce or blended-family strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns. She helps unpack communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame and feelings of isolation. Work on life purpose or motivation is available for those unsure what comes next.
Her approach is measured and patient. Sonia encourages clear, practical steps where useful. She asks people to try small experiments between sessions and to reflect on what helps them feel steadier and more able to make choices.

How Sonia’s approaches are used in online therapy
Sonia draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to structure online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual, helping them clarify values and immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of acting.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Sonia treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to concentrate on practical behaviour change, on exploring relationship patterns, or a mix of both.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others use video to enable face-to-face conversation; Sonia will discuss what works best for day-to-day life and goals during the first scheduling steps.
