More about Sonia
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a qualified person centred counsellor & have a post graduate degree in counselling and psychotherapy.
I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapy) and BAATN (The Black African & Asian Therapy Network).
My objective is to cultivate a space in which clients can explore their thoughts, free from judgements or opinions, whilst feeling supported. Previous experience includes supporting survivors of domestic violence, relationship challenges, racial & gender equality, identity & life transitions.
My approach is warm, empathic & professional. I’m truly passionate about providing support & encouraging changes which are right for you. My aim is to empower people in order for them to establish their own voice & place in the world whilst feeling confident.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I already feel like Sonia knows me better than I know myself.
Only recently started with Sonia and she’s been amazing. Really helping me to understand myself a little bit more and feel like I’m getting a lot of out the sessions!
Sonia is very thoughtful, kind and caring, I feel very comfortable talking about whatever is on my mind and don't feel as though I will be judged. I never thought I could talk so much
Sonia is brilliant, she listens and reflects and helps me to find the right coping mechanisms or offers me options of techniques to try to support my mental health. She always responds in a timely way too which is much appreciated.
