About Sonja
Sonja Rodney is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes. Her style aims to make people feel listened to and less alone when things feel overwhelming.
She brings three years of experience working with clients in the United Kingdom. Her interest in counselling grew from personal experience, which shapes a practical, empathetic way of working. She concentrates on building a non-judgemental space where people can say what they think and feel without pressure.
Sonja uses an integrative approach that draws on several ways of working rather than one fixed method. Some sessions look at how past experiences affect present feelings, while others focus on short-term, practical steps to manage emotions and cope day to day. She adapts her focus according to each person’s needs and what helps them make progress.
She addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency and patterns related to avoidant or dependent personality traits. Sonja also supports people coping with domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, infidelity, guilt and shame, and questions of faith or identity as part of their recovery.
Her aim is to work at a pace that suits the individual, helping them build coping strategies and clearer choices. People who want straightforward, compassionate conversation about difficult experiences often find this approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. It helps people who need to feel heard and to make sense of their feelings in their own words. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what you want to change next. It can be useful for managing anxiety, panic attacks and daily coping strategies. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the impact of past harm on present reactions and supports gradual recovery from abuse and loss.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That conversation can shift as progress is made, with more emphasis on understanding or on practical tools as needed.
Confirm the available session options before booking because specific formats are not stated in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people value being able to join sessions from wherever they are, while others prefer in-person contact; the therapist will help find what fits a person's routine and needs.
