About Sonia
Sonia Clarke is a counsellor and an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing anxiety, stress, grief, low self‑esteem and life changes. Sonia also supports clients dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and a range of mood and behavioural difficulties.
Sonia trained in an integrative model and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other approaches. She draws on practical techniques to help people manage symptoms such as panic, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviours and sleep disruption. Sessions often focus on small, achievable steps rather than big leaps.
Her background includes managing a counselling service for a local mental health charity and supervising counsellors. That experience shaped how she organises sessions and follows professional standards set by the BACP. Supervision forms a regular part of her practice.
In conversations she listens for what is getting in the way of day-to-day life. She can help people work through issues like caregiver stress, abandonment, hoarding, communication problems and feelings of emptiness. Practical problem solving and clearer thinking are common focuses.
People concerned about career direction or life purpose can explore options and the feelings that come with change. Sonia uses techniques from CBT and solution-focused work to identify patterns and test small changes. The aim is to give clearer choices and ways to cope with uncertainty.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sonia does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled.
How Sonia uses CBT and Solution‑Focused work online
Sonia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution‑Focused Therapy in her practice. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical techniques to test different ways of thinking and behaving. This approach can help with panic attacks, obsessions, low mood and sleep problems.Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on what is working now and on small, achievable steps toward clearer goals. It is useful when someone wants focused conversations about career direction, life purpose or immediate coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia aims to agree on methods together, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments around work or caring duties and the ability to have a shorter check‑in when time is limited.
