Sonia’s Psychotherapy & Consultancy was founded by Sonia Ozkaya to help clients better understand themselves and their circumstances so they can take meaningful steps forward.
Building on decades of experience, I work with individuals and organisations in the UK and elsewhere to help facilitate reflection and set out pathways towards personal and professional growth.
I welcome people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations, and have significant expertise working with people whose first language isn’t English.
Everyone should have access to support. Whether you’ve found me yourself, or been referred by another professional, I’ve adapted my services to fit most situations and budgets.
As a registered BACP counsellor and psychotherapist, my services are aligned with industry-standard professional and ethical frameworks.
I provide an integrative approach to help support each client’s specific needs. This centres on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches, including aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and Reiki.
I have extensive background and expertise in the psychology of female-related conditions and affirmative therapy for the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach is inclusive, welcoming, non-discriminatory, and mindful of the specific societal pressures these groups face.
I also provide formal, collaborative, and developmental supervision for practicing and student counsellors. My process can help you meet your BACP registration criteria, achieve continuing professional development (CPD), and maintain the wellbeing of yourself and your clients.
My academic consultancy is meant to support higher education organisations in optimising their processes and delivering successful change initiatives.
This might include developing new policy and procedure, improving communications and staff relations, or responding effectively to industry changes.
I can help you deliver change on a holistic level, enhancing university management while staying mindful of the challenges faced by academic staff, professional staff, and the student body.
I can also provide interim leadership to help ensure consistency of service delivery.
My academic mentoring is meant to help individual academics realise their professional goals in a manner that supports their personal wellbeing.
I have a proven track record for supporting CPD via both personal growth, and the acquisition of recognised qualifications / accreditation.
