About Sonia
Sonia Clarke is a BACP accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with practical problems such as anxiety, stress, grief and relationship difficulties, and uses clear approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Sonia speaks plain language in sessions and aims to help people make changes without pressure. She supports those facing mood problems, coping with life changes, addiction concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also addresses a broad range of related difficulties such as panic attacks, obsessive behaviours and caregiver stress.
Her background includes a Diploma Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and an Integrative counselling qualification. She is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their code of ethics. She also holds a British Psychological Society approved Certificate in Supervision.
Before focusing on private practice she managed a counselling service for a local mental health charity and supervised a team of counsellors. She continues to receive regular supervision in line with BACP guidance and keeps up ongoing professional training.
In practical terms Sonia combines CBT techniques with solution-focused work and draws on psychodynamic and humanistic ideas where useful. Sessions centre on discussing immediate concerns, testing manageable steps, and reviewing what helps most. People typically leave with clearer choices and tools to use between sessions.

How Sonia uses CBT and solution-focused work online
Two approaches she uses are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and tests small behavioural or thinking changes to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and strengths that move a person toward specific goals rather than focusing only on problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia discusses the options with each person and decides together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. This remains a collaborative process and methods may be adjusted as the work progresses.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the supplied biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people access therapy without changing the core clinical methods used in sessions.
