About Sonia
Sonia Knight is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or grief. Sonia also supports those dealing with parenting challenges and questions about self-esteem and life purpose.
Her work is conversational and grounded. Sonia aims to create a calm space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling without judgement.
Background and approach
She encourages practical steps and small changes that fit into everyday life. Sonia draws on several approaches to shape sessions. She uses client-centred ways of working to listen closely and follow the person's priorities.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make changes but feels unsure where to start. Her background also includes psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns from the past that keep repeating now. Solution-focused techniques are used to spot strengths and build on what already works for the person.
Sonia has worked with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and family problems. She is familiar with ADHD, autism and supporting people who feel isolated or struggle with social anxiety. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style often find Sonia approachable.
She will work together with each person to set practical goals and review progress as therapy continues.

How Sonia works online
She will treat choosing an approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will ask about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will agree which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they can shorten travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when life feels busy, or conversations without needing to be on camera if that helps you engage. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible scheduling to help therapy fit into everyday life.
