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.

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.

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.
