I am Dr Sonia Ahmed, a chartered counselling psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC), and founder of Serene Psychology. I have significant experience working with a range of issues and difficulties, varying from day-to-day stress to severe mental health issues. These include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship issues, amongst others. Furthermore, I have substantial experience working with trauma and PTSD presentations. Alongside my work, I have a team of experienced associate therapists who offer a range of services & expertise to meet needs.
I believe that each persons experience is individual & unique, and that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to therapy. Therefore my therapeutic approach takes on an integrative stance, in which I will often draw upon a number of therapeutic models and techniques, tailored to each individuals needs. These include, CBT, psychodynamic, humanistic.
Developing a strong therapeutic relationship will be the core of therapy. This means that sessions will be based on empathy, trust, warmth, non-judgmental, and compassion, whilst being adaptive to each of your needs. Here at Serene Psychology, together, we are committed to fostering a safe & supportive environment for all individuals seeking therapy
