My clients

My services are inclusive and tailored to your individual needs.

Whoever you are and whatever your circumstances, I know the difference an impartial and experienced voice can make.

My own professional pathway has given me a unique understanding of challenges faced by individuals and groups including academics and leaders within higher education.

Here’s what they have to say

She put an emphasis on realism, reflections on day-to-day encounters (symbolising attachment styles and repetitive patterns) and thought-provoking questions.

She’s never quick to offer solutions but instead holds space for me to process and find clarity in my own time.

Through every challenge, Sonia has encouraged me to embrace my emotional journey

Her unwavering presence and ability to offer therapeutic guidance have played an instrumental role in my healing and personal growth.

She also inspires and helps us to grow as an individual, learn and improve.

My ethos

My professional ethos has been honed via decades of experience in counselling, psychotherapy, and academia.

These are the core beliefs that underpin my approach:

  • Collaboration: I’ll adapt my approach to suit your specific needs and circumstances.

  • Accessibility: My services are cost-effective and can be scheduled to fit around your lifestyle.
  • Holistic approach: Change encompasses mental, emotional, social, and spiritual growth.
  • Comfort in discomfort: You’ll be challenged, and we’ll both learn from each other.
  • Change in context: Change comes from understanding, and is rarely an individual endeavour.
