Aminata Sonko, BACP

Aminata Sonko is a BACP-registered counsellor with a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She specialises in supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns including attachment and body image issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, and panic or mood disorders.

Aminata works from a compassionate, person-centred stance that recognises each person as the expert on their own life, combined with solution-focused techniques aimed at helping clients identify practical steps forward. She seeks to empower clients to build resilience, clarify goals, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her approach is adaptable, evidence-informed, and tailored to each client’s circumstances and priorities.

Holding BACP registration means she meets professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Aminata offers a nonjudgmental and respectful space for people to explore emotions, make sense of difficult experiences, and take concrete steps toward healing and greater balance. She is available to work with both UK-based and international clients.
