About Sonja

Sonja Rodney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or relationship problems. She works with those affected by trauma and abuse, and helps people navigate grief and major life changes. Sessions aim to help clients feel heard and find practical ways to move forward.

She brings three years of direct counselling experience to her work and draws on several approaches to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

Some clients focus on understanding how past experiences shape current patterns. Others prefer short-term, solution-focused work to manage symptoms and make quick changes. Sonja creates a non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about difficult emotions.

She pays attention to attachment issues, codependency and problems such as panic attacks, shame, guilt and infidelity. Cultural and multicultural concerns are also part of her practice. Her approach adapts to what each person finds most useful.

That might include talking through past relationships, practical exercises to reduce anxiety, or exploring grief at a gentle pace. The aim is to build clearer ways of coping and stronger self-understanding. Sessions may touch on sensitive areas such as domestic violence, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and recovery after separation or divorce.

Sonja offers support for people wanting to explore faith and spirituality as part of their healing. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP on her profile. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.

How Sonja’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s perspective. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person explore feelings at their own pace. This approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to make sense of painful experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims at practical, short-term changes. Sessions identify small steps and strategies to reduce anxiety or improve relationships. It suits people who want clear actions and measurable progress over a few sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy involves working carefully with difficult memories and reactions. The work is paced to the person, helping them process what's happened and reduce distressing symptoms over time.

Finding the right way to work is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each client to choose which approach or combination feels most helpful based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That means trying different methods and adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face contact when needed, while phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep up regular contact with registered or accredited professionals.
