Sonia Roberts

Sonia Roberts is a counsellor who blends listening with practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self esteem and family tensions. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings three years of professional counselling experience alongside a long background in social care. Sonia aims to create a calm, patient space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

Her way of working is straightforward and down to earth. Sessions often start with what matters most to the client right now. Sonia uses Client-Centred techniques to follow the person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and elements of Psychodynamic therapy to notice recurring life themes.

She has practical experience supporting people with parenting strain, blended family issues and communication problems. Other common concerns she helps with include abandonment and attachment worries, guilt and shame, body image, and coping with chronic illness or pain. Sonia also addresses isolation, life purpose questions and problems that follow separation or divorce.

Sonia draws on 25 years working in social care to keep work grounded in real life. Her own experiences of difficulty inform a compassionate style rather than a clinical stance. Clients can expect steady, patient support aimed at clearer thinking and better day to day coping.

For people wanting to start, Sonia asks that they use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session according to her schedule.

How Sonia’s approaches work in online therapy

Sonia uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise what the person wants to talk about, offering a listening approach that follows the client’s lead and builds trust. This method helps when someone needs to be heard and understood before deciding on practical steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to shift them. It suits worries about anxiety, low mood and negative self talk where concrete changes in thinking can ease daily life.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Sonia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will decide which methods to emphasise. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time as needs change.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Generally, online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a format that fits around work or caregiving commitments.
