Sonia Roberts, BACP

Sonia Roberts is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a blend of clinical training and long experience in social care to her practice. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has three years of professional therapeutic experience alongside 25 years working in social care, which contributes practical insight into family and caregiving dynamics.

Sonia works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression, and she also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and life purpose. Her approach is calm, patient and non-judgemental, and she draws on that steadiness to support clients through difficult moments and transitions.

Having navigated personal difficulties herself, Sonia integrates lived experience with clinical methods to offer empathic, thoughtful support. She aims to help clients explore their inner lives, build resilience and practical coping skills, and improve communication within families and relationships. Sonia accepts international clients and offers therapy in English, using a collaborative style to tailor goals and techniques to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sonia draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas to shape online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s priorities guide the work - it can help people who need support processing emotions, building confidence and improving relationships.

CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms because it provides practical tools for everyday coping. Psychodynamic therapy explores deeper emotional patterns and early relationships to increase self-understanding and to address recurring difficulties such as attachment and abandonment concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sonia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet around work, family and health commitments. Sonia provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose what feels most comfortable and accessible while maintaining continuity of care across locations and time zones.
