About Sonia
Sonia Roberts is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with warm, steady support. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings three years of professional therapeutic experience in the United Kingdom. Sonia is calm and patient in session and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and manageable.
Sonia draws on client-centred work to build a trusting, non-judgemental space. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and to develop new coping habits.
Background and approach
Elements of psychodynamic thinking inform deeper conversations about patterns and past experiences. Her main areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, family and parenting concerns, and self-esteem. Sonia also helps people facing issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, communication breakdowns, and the emotional effects of chronic illness or caregiving roles.
She describes herself as someone who has learned from her own life challenges, which she uses to offer empathy and practical understanding. Sessions tend to be approachable and grounded, with an emphasis on what clients want to change and small steps they can try between meetings.
Sonia offers sessions in English and is available to work with people in the UK and internationally. Her background in social care over many years informs a practical, down-to-earth way of supporting people through family and parenting stresses and life transitions.

Approaches Sonia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Approaches for online family and parenting support
Sonia uses client-centred therapy to prioritise what each person brings to the room. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood so they can explore what matters most to them.She pairs that with cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT offers practical exercises and simple strategies for managing anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thinking that people can try between online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts plans as conversations develop.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside family life and other commitments.
