About Sonja
Sonja Rodney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and big life changes. She writes and speaks plainly, offering steady support for those who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She brings three years of direct counselling experience to sessions and works in English.
Sonja aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through hard things at a pace that suits them.
Background and approach
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify realistic, short-term goals. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts are central to what someone brings. Her approach is flexible rather than fixed.
Some people will spend time looking at how their past affects their present. Others prefer practical strategies to manage emotions and make changes. Sonja combines approaches in ways that fit each person’s needs and preferences.
She also pays attention to attachment patterns, issues around codependency, and the emotional effects of separation or domestic violence. Common concerns she works with include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, feelings of shame or guilt, and rebuilding self-worth after difficult relationships. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different schedules.
Sonja accepts international clients and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

Approaches Sonja 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
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals. Sessions using this approach look for what is already working and build simple, achievable plans to move forward. It suits people who want short-term, action-oriented support.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. Sonja will listen to your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She will check in and adapt the work so it fits how you respond and what you want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling more accessible. Video calls let you use visual cues; phone sessions work well when you need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when typed conversation feels easier. These options aim to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
