About Sonia
Sonia Clarke is a counsellor with twelve years' experience who aims to help people make changes without pressure or judgement. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Sonia focuses on offering a calm, warm space where people can talk about what feels hard and start to feel more in control.
She knows life can feel overwhelming at times. Sonia commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with specific concerns such as phobias, obsessive thoughts, relationship and family tensions, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and difficulties with self-esteem or intimacy. Sonia uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and integrative methods in her practice. That means she blends practical techniques with conversations about thoughts and patterns, then focuses on small steps that can make daily life easier.
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking, try new coping strategies and set realistic goals. Her background includes management and supervision roles in the voluntary sector where she ran a counselling service and supported other counsellors. She receives regular supervision and continues professional development to keep her work up to date.
Sonia describes her approach as empathetic and straightforward, helping people find clear, manageable ways forward. People who choose Sonia can expect a structured, goal-oriented process with room to explore emotions. She offers one-to-one support for a wide range of mood and stress-related issues, using practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

Approaches Sonia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also works with Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on strengths and small changes that move life in a better direction. These sessions identify the client’s goals, spot what is already working and set simple, achievable next steps to build momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will explore your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative decision means techniques can be adjusted as the work progresses so the focus stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still using CBT and solution-focused tools effectively.
