About Sonia
Sonia Clarke is an experienced counsellor with 12 years in the field. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on a mix of approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. Sonia aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk things through at their own pace.
She works in a straightforward, empathetic way. Sonia listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck. She uses practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside shorter, goal-focused solution work to help with specific problems such as phobias, panic attacks or mood difficulties.
Sonia can also support people dealing with life changes, caregiver stress, addictions and work-related strain. She has experience addressing sleep and eating difficulties, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and challenges around intimacy and family problems. Her background includes managing a counselling service and supervising other counsellors for a local mental health charity.
Sessions emphasise small, manageable steps. Sonia helps people set clear goals and reviews progress together. Where useful, she blends reflective conversation with exercises that change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
She maintains regular supervision in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards. Sonia continues professional development and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. To begin, readers should check session options and scheduling details before booking.
How Sonia’s approaches translate to online work
Sonia uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that suit everyday problems. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through simple exercises and practice. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, phobias, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps toward the client’s goals. The approach prioritises small, achievable changes and looks for what is already working in someone’s life. It is helpful when a person wants clear short-term goals or needs to get unstuck quickly.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sonia will discuss what feels most useful, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is to match methods to each person’s needs and preferences rather than stick to one route.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and communication style before you begin.
