How Sonia’s approaches translate to online counselling

Sonia uses client-centred work to focus on what matters to each person, prioritising listening and collaboration. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to decide the topics to work on together.

She also employs motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons to change. That method suits goals like managing anxiety, improving parenting routines or making steady life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Sonia will discuss the methods above and agree with clients which to try first based on needs, goals and personal preferences. She adapts the style over time if something feels off or a different focus is needed.

Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school or caregiving by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and let people choose whether to use video or audio when supported by the chosen format. Registered or accredited professionals typically help clients decide which setup will work best for their circumstances.
