Sonja Rodney, BACP

Sonja Rodney is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, domestic abuse including narcissistic abuse, bereavement, grief, and loss. She also works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, as well as those navigating major life changes or exploring questions of faith and spirituality. Sonja practises with sensitivity to the complex impacts of abuse, attachment difficulties, and identity concerns, and she brings particular attention to issues such as codependency, narcissistic dynamics, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach is integrative, combining elements from Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside techniques drawn from psychodynamic work, attachment theory, CBT methods, somatic practices, and creative therapies. This flexibility allows her to tailor sessions to each person - some clients explore how past experiences shape present patterns, while others focus on practical strategies to manage emotions and move forward. Sonja holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects professional standards in counselling practice.

Known for offering a calm, non-judgmental space, she aims to listen carefully and help people find clarity when they feel unheard, stuck, or overwhelmed. Sonja emphasises collaboration, pacing work to suit each individual and supporting clients to identify steps that feel manageable and meaningful for their lives.
