I am particularly passionate about supporting those experiencing anxiety, bereavement, or issues around sexuality.
I can help you identify and challenge unhelpful or intrusive thoughts and behaviours, understand your past experiences, and help you take a step back from your thoughts so you can respond with intention rather than react automatically. You will develop healthy boundaries, improve communication, manage self-criticism, and build resilience. I can also help you to find greater meaning and purpose by exploring your values and beliefs, supporting confident, authentic, and meaningful relationships and life.

I've also worked with Cruse, the bereavement charity, supporting clients with their grief.
Are you feeling "how do I deal with this" or "how can I change things" and you just don't know where to start.........then I can help. Counselling can make a huge difference to how you live your life. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons and you're certainly not alone if you are finding making the first move quite daunting. I provide a quiet, safe space where you can freely discuss your fears, worries, hopes and dreams without judgement. This will allow you to gain a greater understanding of where you are now, where you want to be and how to get there.

I am currently counselling at Myton Hospice, Age UK taking GP referrals working with Loss, Bereavement, Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, PTSD, Trauma, Dementia, Neurological conditions.
Hello my name is Sonya, I am a CBT therapist (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). Sometimes in life we all get to a point where we just need to reach out. I can offer you time to listen effectively in a comfortable, safe, and confidential environment. Working with CBT enables you to talk about your feelings and emotions in situations as they may affect our behaviours and by recognising this we can adapt some change. Being able to express your feelings or presenting issue may be difficult especially to loved ones, family and friends. Reach Out will empower you to contribute to your well-being, sense of belonging, and self worth in Therapy.

Welcome! Are you looking for someone who listens with empathy but who will also intervene with strategies and tools during sessions? For tasks and experiments to carry out between sessions? My approach is both interactive and practical. I aim to thoroughly understand the issues and then to help adults, teenagers and couples towards creative change through a variety of approaches, tailored to their particular situations. I also offer supervision to other therapists. You can book a free 20 minute phone call to 'check me out' and for me to assess whether I think I can help you. After that sessions are 1 hour, usually fortnightly.

I like to help people to become unstuck, as that is often what brings people to therapy. With over 2500 hours of therapy, I have found that there is usually always another way to live. If you're feeling stuck, low, anxious, highly stressed, overwhelmed, angry, regretful, let's talk about these difficulties and work towards change in order for you to live a more free and enjoyable life. There is a protocol to guide us when needed, but really we'll work on what's most important to you in order for you to live a more meaningful and enjoyable life, and ultimately to be more of the person that you want to be.

At times, people can feel overwhelmed by events or relationships in their lives. You may feel anxious, confused, depressed, frustrated and alone. You may be troubled by something you don’t understand, or something in your life isn’t working out as you want and you can’t seem to see the 'wood for the trees'. Trying to understand such events and feelings or make lasting positive changes can seem too difficult on your own, and this is where counselling/psychotherapy, EMDR or life coaching or a blend of these therapies can help.

I am an integrative counsellor and art therapist who works face to face, online or through walking and talking. My practice uses a person-centred approach to healing meaning you have the autonomy to bring whatever you want and work through it in the way you want to. You can choose from traditional talking therapy or if words are difficult to find opt for a more relaxed yet deep way of thinking through drawing, sand-play or Lego. This is often more preferable for children. You may also prefer an alternative experience through Mindfulness, the choice is yours and we can explore this together to ensure you have your needs met.

I provide therapeutic space for you to reflect, think about and explore difficulties without judgement. Sometimes we can have an idea about what we are struggling with, sometimes we are less sure. Accessing therapy can help us to understand ourselves and give meaning to that which leaves us feeling stuck. Sometimes things that are happening in the here and now can bring up feelings that we have experienced in the past that we may or may not be aware of. This may create discomfort, pain, distress, anxiety, depression and overwhelm. People often describe feeling empty, in darkness, alone, lacking energy and feeling frightened.

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
