Sonia has been an excellent therapist. I cannot praise her enough. She is all the things you would want and has helped me tremendously with various issues. I have valued our sessions together and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

More about Sonia

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP.

My approach combines person centred and psychodynamic therapy.

My client work has included working with but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, bereavement, including bereavement from suicide, hoarding and difficult emotions such as low esteem and anger.

My therapy style is warm friendly and empathic, I can offer you a safe non-judgmental space in which to explore whatever is troubling you.

During my training I had my own personal counselling which enabled me to work through certain issues and understand myself better, I share this as I empathise with being a client.

Counselling can be challenging and I know It can be daunting taking the first steps, I hope with my empathic understanding, honesty and acceptance you will feel free and supported to talk about whatever is troubling you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards Sonia

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
