Sonja Rodney
Healing that meets you where you are
About Sonja
Sonja Rodney offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, loss, relationship strain or past hurt. She introduces a steady, listening presence so clients can speak without hurry. Her style suits those who want clear, practical steps as well as space to look back at how things started.
Sonja draws on three years of counselling practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide ethical and professional work.
Background and approach
She helps people manage anxiety, panic, grief and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing life changes and relationship difficulties, including infidelity and divorce and separation. Her approach blends client-centred work with solution-focused and trauma-focused elements.
That means sessions may centre on your priorities, aim for clear short-term goals, or give careful attention to processing painful memories. Sonja adapts each session to what you need that week rather than following a fixed plan. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.
Practical tools and small steps for coping are offered alongside space to reflect on patterns like codependency, attachment issues, or feelings of guilt and shame. For people exploring faith, cultural identity or men’s issues, she brings awareness to those themes. Sonja works with clients in English and accepts international clients for online sessions.
If you want calm, practical support that honours your pace, she aims to help you find clearer ways forward.

How Sonja’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to you. The therapist offers empathy and reflects back what she hears so you feel understood and can make your own choices about change.Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps that build progress fast. Sessions often set short-term goals and try out simple strategies to reduce stress, manage panic or improve communication in relationships.
Trauma-Focused Therapy gives space to safely work through painful memories and their impact. It looks at how past events affect current feelings and helps develop coping skills to reduce distress and reclaim daily functioning.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest a way forward. That plan can change as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging make short check-ins or step-by-step work easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
