Sonia RobertsBACP

Sonia Roberts is a counsellor who draws on client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas to help people manage stress and anxiety. She works with concerns around family and parenting, self‑esteem, depression and the practical strains that come with caring responsibilities. Sonia brings a calm, patient and non‑judgemental style to sessions.

She has three years of professional counselling experience and a long background in social care spanning 25 years. That background informed her approach and gives her practical insight into everyday pressures people face. Sonia is registered with the BACP, which appears as her listed credential.

In the room she focuses on understanding what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations can look at current problems and how past experiences shape present reactions. Sonia aims to help people notice patterns, make small changes and try new ways of coping.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Sonia says she listens deeply and offers straightforward reflections and suggestions when useful. She also draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural work to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

She has a particular interest in family dynamics, attachment and issues of abandonment and forgiveness. Sonia also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness or caregiver stress, helping them reconnect with purpose and rebuild confidence.

How Sonia’s approaches translate to online care

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It helps people feel heard and valued, and is useful for building confidence and exploring feelings about parenting, family roles and life purpose.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It offers practical tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage stress and change unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to past relationships and how they shape current patterns. It can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment themes and repeated family conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and will collaborate with the person to decide what fits their needs, goals and personal preferences. This is a shared process that can change over time as different issues are addressed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and keeping appointments that might otherwise be missed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online and in‑person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to arrange regular check‑ins and to bring therapeutic tools into everyday life.
