Background and approach

Her background includes managing a counselling service for a local mental health charity and supervising other counsellors. That experience shaped how she organises clear, supportive sessions and follows professional standards set by the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). In practice Sonia works mainly in an integrative way, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and humanistic principles.

Sessions often combine practical tools with space to think about past experiences and current relationships. People come to Sonia for many reasons, including anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, low mood, grief, stress, relationship and family concerns, compulsive behaviours, eating and sleeping problems, and caring-related strain. She also helps with issues such as control, abandonment, isolation and life purpose.

Sonia offers a straightforward approach that aims to make change feel achievable. She supports people to try new strategies, review what works and build clearer choices for everyday life.

How Sonia's approaches work online

Sonia often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety, panic and compulsive behaviours. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what you want to be different, which can be useful for coping with stress, life changes and relationship difficulties.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Sonia works with each client to match methods to their goals and preferences, checking in and adapting as the work progresses. This means sessions can be practical one week and more reflective the next, depending on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited; live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and everyday life while still working on anxiety, phobias and related concerns.
