About Sonia

Sonia Nosheen is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and family concerns. She names divorce and separation among the issues she supports. Sonia works in the United Kingdom and brings six years of professional experience to her practice.

Sonia uses a warm, client-centred style where the person is placed at the heart of sessions. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Sonia emphasises listening first and then helping clients to find their own way forward.

Her approach suits people who want a talking space to make sense of difficult events. Topics she has worked on include attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, body image, dissociation and coping after disaster. Sonia also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, fertility concerns, domestic violence and feelings of guilt or shame.

Sonia holds BACP registration, which reflects her standing within the counselling profession in the UK. She describes the work as collaborative and empowering, and she encourages small, practical steps towards change.

Sessions are offered in English. Sonia has also previously used Punjabi and Urdu to support cultural communication, which she notes can help some clients engage more comfortably with talking therapy.

To begin, Sonia asks people to reflect on what matters most to them and what they hope to change. She then works at a pace set by the client, focussing on understanding, practical coping and clearer communication.

How Client-Centred Therapy fits with online counselling

Sonia practices client-centred therapy, which means the conversation is shaped around the person in front of her. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says and following the client’s pace to help them understand their feelings and choices. It is often used for issues like anxiety, relationship worries, grief and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Client-centred work helps people feel heard before moving on to change. Sessions aim to build clarity about what matters most to the client and then explore small, practical steps. This collaborative stance makes it easier to tailor the process as goals and needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. The main practical benefit is fitting sessions into everyday life - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, childcare or other commitments. Online options can also reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Sonia will work with each person to decide how best to structure sessions so therapy fits with daily routines and personal preferences.
