Sonia Roberts

Sonia Roberts is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and family or parenting difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of professional counselling experience in the UK.

Sonia draws on a calm, patient and non-judgemental manner in sessions. She aims to create space for honest conversation and to help people feel heard. People come to her with worries about family conflict, parenting strain, motivation, depression and issues around body image or attachment.

Before working as a counsellor Sonia spent many years in social care. That background informs her practical view of everyday pressures and how life events affect relationships and self-worth. She uses that experience to help people make sense of their current difficulties.

Her ways of working include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. Sonia adapts these approaches to suit each person, focusing on what will help most in day-to-day life.

Sonia says her own life challenges have deepened her empathy and understanding. She enjoys supporting people through personal change and helping them find clearer direction and more confidence. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Sonia's approaches translate to online support

Sonia works using Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of conversation. CBT looks at practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and body image worries.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences and attachment patterns influence current feelings and relationships. That can be useful for understanding recurring emotional patterns and improving how people relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sonia will discuss the different ways of working and help decide what fits a person's goals, needs and preferences. The choice often evolves as trust builds and clearer aims emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, please check which session formats are offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to help people maintain steady progress while juggling everyday life.
