Sonia Knight is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. She offers straightforward help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, family conflict and parenting pressures. Sonia aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Her background includes work alongside adults and teenagers, and she has experience relating to ADHD and autism. Sonia uses simple, practical methods to help people notice patterns, set small goals and build on what already works in their lives.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Sonia blends client-centred listening with techniques from motivational interviewing and psychodynamic thought to explore how past experiences shape current choices. She also draws on solution-focused ways of working when people want fast, practical steps to try between sessions.

Common concerns she addresses include low self-esteem, social anxiety, isolation, life purpose and the stresses of caregiving. She also supports people through adoption or foster care questions, attachment issues, divorce and separation, and intellectual disability-related matters. People who meet her can expect empathy, clear questions and collaborative planning.

Sonia aims to help clients leave sessions with one or two manageable actions. Over time she helps people build confidence and a clearer sense of what they want next.

How Sonia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The counsellor mirrors back what is said, helps you make sense of feelings and supports your own decision making. This approach is suited to people who want acceptance and a clear space to talk about difficult topics.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses gentle questions to find personal reasons for change and to build confidence step-by-step. This can be useful for addressing issues like low motivation, procrastination or starting new routines.

Sonia will work with each person to identify which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Figuring out what helps is a collaborative process; she will check in about goals and preferences and adapt the style as work progresses.

Online therapy with Sonia can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family life and other commitments.
