About Sonia
Sonia Roberts is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional counselling experience. She draws on a long background in social care to help people manage stress, anxiety, family tensions, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression.
She uses straightforward talking and active listening to help clients clarify what matters to them. Sonia combines client-centred conversation with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and reflections from psychodynamic thinking. Sessions aim to make everyday problems feel more manageable.
Sonia has worked in social care for 25 years, which shaped how she helps people with family and parenting strains. She is used to talking through issues such as blended family concerns, communication breakdowns, separation and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people facing abandonment and attachment worries or those dealing with guilt, shame and forgiveness.
Other areas she addresses include body image, chronic illness or pain, control issues, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose. Sonia asks practical questions and helps people try small changes between sessions when that feels useful.
Her approach is calm and patient. She does not claim fixed outcomes but works with each person to identify priorities and next steps. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Sonia’s approaches work for online sessions
Sonia draws on client-centred therapy to listen and follow what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on understanding and reflection, helping people find their own solutions and priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy for practical tools. CBT helps break down worries into manageable steps and offers techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns from past relationships that affect current family and parenting struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
