About Sonia
Sonia Roberts is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Before qualifying, Sonia spent 25 years in social care. That background influenced how she listens and what she notices in everyday life. She uses practical, straightforward ways to help people recognise patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try new responses. She also uses client-centred methods to keep discussions focused on what matters to the person. Psychodynamic ideas are used when exploring how past relationships affect current reactions.
Sonia commonly works with issues linked to attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, communication problems and the strain carers can feel. She also supports people facing chronic health problems, body-image worries, guilt and isolation. These are discussed in clear terms and turned into small, manageable steps.
Her practical approach aims to make therapy feel like learning new skills. Expect short, focused conversations about thoughts, choices and small experiments to test different ways of responding. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Sonia uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.
How Sonia blends approaches for online work
Sonia combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods in straightforward ways. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and sets simple experiments to test different responses, which can be reviewed across sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, helping conversations stay practical and relevant.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas where looking at past relationships helps explain current patterns. That can be useful when attachment or abandonment feels important to day-to-day reactions. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process and depends on the person's goals and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the working day and avoid the need to be on camera when that is difficult. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises used in CBT and client-centred work to work well at a distance, and Sonia will discuss practical arrangements and pacing when arranging the first session.
