About Sonia

Sonia Roberts helps people with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression using Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional counselling experience in the UK.

Sonia draws on a long background in social care, where she spent 25 years supporting people through practical and emotional difficulties. That experience informs the way she talks about daily pressures and family tensions. In sessions she listens to what matters to each person and works from there.

She uses client-centred work to focus on the person's experience and what they want to change. She also draws on CBT to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Elements of psychodynamic therapy are used when early relationships and attachment patterns are relevant to present difficulties.

Practical concerns such as parenting strains, blended family issues, communication problems and life transitions are commonly discussed. Sonia also works with themes like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and guilt or shame.

Sessions are conversational and aim to make emotional material easier to talk about. Sonia encourages small, practical steps as well as reflective thinking.

How Sonia uses different counselling approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and encourages open discussion about what matters to them. It is useful for building trust and for people who want to explore how they feel about their relationships and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems in place and works on practical strategies to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood, unhelpful beliefs and repetitive behaviours.

Sonia will work with the person to find which approach, or combination, fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than being fixed in advance.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need clear, shorter check-ins that do not require video, or longer sessions when more time is needed, confirm the available session formats before booking. The service uses a booking system where you complete a matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
