Hi, I’m Aminata Sonko, a BACP-registered counsellor with a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and over four years of professional experience in the UK. I specialise in supporting individuals facing challenges such as bereavement, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and confidence issues.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that the strength to overcome life’s obstacles lies within you. My approach is compassionate, person-centred, and solution-focused, tailored to empower you to take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and I am here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. Whether you are struggling with personal challenges or seeking clarity and motivation, I am committed to supporting you with empathy, respect, and professionalism.
You don’t have to go through this alone—I am here to help you navigate your journey toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Let’s take this step together.

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.
