About Sonia
Sonia Knight is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people seeking help for stress, anxiety, grief and loss, family problems and parenting concerns. Her profile also notes experience with ADHD and Autism, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Sonia works with adults and teenagers, and with individuals and couples. She aims to create an open environment where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational, letting the person set the pace.
In practice she mixes different ways of working to meet the issue at hand. Client-Centred Therapy guides conversations around what matters most to the client. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify small, practical steps they can use between sessions.
She also uses elements of Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find momentum for change. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at patterns from the past that affect current relationships and responses.
Sonia notes experience supporting people through adoption and foster care concerns, attachment matters, caregiver stress, divorce and separation. She also lists intellectual disability, isolation or loneliness, life purpose and self-esteem as areas she can address.
To begin, Sonia asks prospective clients to use the site's matching process before booking a first session. The short questionnaire and scheduling step are the route she uses for new client contact.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about following the client's concerns and helping them lead each session. It focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters and how they want things to change. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small changes that can be tried between meetings to improve daily life and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sonia will discuss options and try approaches that match a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow check-ins that suit work and family routines. If video is not suitable, other session styles may be more practical for quieter audio or shorter check-ins; check the site's booking details to see which formats Sonia offers.
