How Sonia works
She supports people dealing with caregiver strain, divorce and separation, and other family problems. In sessions she emphasises listening first and then finding manageable steps forward.

Sonia works to build an understanding of what is getting in the way, and to increase confidence and self‑compassion.

Online support options
Approach‑led online therapy that fits your life
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on having a non‑judgemental space where the person sets the pace and direction. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to build self‑confidence through understanding their own choices.Solution‑Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps that can change day‑to‑day life. It suits people who want short‑term, goal oriented work and clear next steps to try between sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and emotions. It can help when recurring issues keep coming up and there is a wish to understand why they happen.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most useful. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as goals and needs become clearer.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face and see non‑verbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or hands‑free convenience matters. Live chat or text‑based messaging suits shorter check‑ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
