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

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
