About Sonia
BACP. 3 years of professional counselling experience. Sonia Roberts works with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns using client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches.
Sonia has 25 years of experience in social care alongside three years in professional counselling. She helps people who are dealing with low mood, confidence and motivation. She also supports people facing family conflict, parenting strain, and problems with self-esteem.
Her way of working is straightforward and person-focused. Sonia listens to what matters to the client and encourages practical steps alongside reflective work. She uses client-centred methods to build understanding, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and patterns, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper emotional themes.
Sessions involve talking through current problems and spotting patterns that keep issues going. Sonia offers calm, patient presence and draws on her own life experience to inform her understanding. She aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier.
People who want to begin are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sonia works in English and accepts international clients.
How Sonia’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on being heard. It involves the counsellor reflecting what the client says and helping them find their own solutions; this can help with low mood, self-esteem and parenting worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which many people find useful for anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That means deciding whether to focus more on practical CBT tasks, reflective psychodynamic themes, or a person-centred listening style.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into daily life - for example it can remove commuting time, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and reduce the need to be on camera for every appointment. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity of care when travel or scheduling is difficult.
