About Sonja

Sonja Rodney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She draws on three years of experience to listen closely and guide practical next steps. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations feel manageable even when emotions run high.

She offers a space where clients can speak without judgement and begin to untangle painful patterns. Sonja knows healing rarely follows a straight line and works at a pace each person finds useful.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions, and to everyday coping needs. Her background includes training recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sonja blends different methods rather than using a single technique.

That allows sessions to focus on emotional safety one week and on practical tools the next. In practice she combines trauma-focused ideas with client-centred listening and solution-focused planning. This mix supports people who want to process painful events and those who need concrete steps to feel steadier.

She also addresses attachment concerns, codependency and issues linked to domestic abuse and narcissistic behaviour. Sonja works with people navigating separation, bereavement, guilt and shame, as well as panic and post-traumatic stress. She is comfortable discussing multicultural and men's issues and supports those exploring faith and spirituality.

Her aim is to help people find clarity and choices that fit their lives.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Sonja uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. This approach concentrates on how past experiences affect current feelings and reactions, and supports steps towards feeling safer in day-to-day moments.

She also practises Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises listening and following the client's pace. This style helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their experiences without pressure. Solution-Focused Therapy is used alongside these methods to set small, achievable goals and build practical skills for coping between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sonja will discuss options with each person and agree on what feels most useful given their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on processing, on practical steps, or on both.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls help with face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or travel.
