Sonia Knight

Sonia Knight is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports adults and teenagers through stressful seasons and the everyday pressures that build up over time. Sonia aims to make the first step easier for people who are unsure where to begin.

She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, grief and family tensions. Parenting concerns and relationship splits are also areas she often talks through with clients. Sonia has practical experience of ADHD and autism and uses that understanding to shape conversations where needed.

Sonia works in a welcoming, non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, their goals, and small steps that can be taken between meetings. She listens first and then helps people try out new ways of thinking and acting when they feel ready.

Her approach draws on client-centred dialogue, psychodynamic thinking about patterns, and solution-focused strategies to find what works in daily life. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the drive to change habits or make decisions.

People often come for help with isolation and loneliness, low self-esteem, social anxiety and finding life purpose. Sonia invites clients to work at a pace that suits them and to build practical tools alongside emotional understanding.

How Sonia's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of conversations. The therapist listens without judging and mirrors back what matters to the client, which can help with loneliness and low self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a client’s own reasons for change and building small, manageable goals; this is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Sonia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable, then try approaches that match those preferences. The way she works can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy days and avoiding travel time, which can make regular work on issues easier to manage. Online work can also allow quicker check-ins and the chance to use tools or worksheets between meetings. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged.
