About Sonia

Sonia Clarke is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She draws on her own life experience and years in practice to offer a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or big life changes. Sonia uses straightforward conversation to help clients explore feelings and think about practical next steps.

She aims to help people reduce panic, manage phobias, and build skills for daily life.

Background and approach

Sonia often works on issues such as low self-esteem, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and struggles with relationships or parenting. Addictions and compassion fatigue are also areas she addresses. Sonia blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with a solution-focused outlook in sessions.

That means she helps people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and then tries small, manageable changes to move forward. Work is collaborative and geared towards what each person hopes to achieve. Her background includes leadership of a local mental health charity counselling service, where she managed practitioners and supervised a team.

She holds a Diploma Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, working within their ethical framework. Sonia offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and people can match with her via a short online questionnaire and scheduling steps.

How Sonia uses CBT and solution-focused work online

Many of Sonia's sessions use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and then try different ways of thinking or behaving to reduce distress. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias and mood difficulties.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical steps and the strengths a person already has. That method can help when someone wants short-term, goal-oriented work to move past a specific problem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sonia discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to fit their needs. The work is a partnership where techniques are agreed together and reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people access consistent support from their home, workplace or elsewhere without needing to travel.
