About me
Hi, I’m Sonam, a counselling therapist offering a calm, warm and supportive space where you can explore whatever is on your mind. I currently offer in-person and online sessions, working with young adults and adults.
Life can at times feel confusing, heavy, and overwhelming. Maybe you often feel misunderstood, different, or like you’re somehow not quite enough. You might find yourself hiding parts of who you really are, changing how you behave to fit in, or saying “I’m fine” when you’re really struggling underneath. Perhaps you feel lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or unsure about where your life is heading. Maybe you’re constantly comparing yourself to others and wondering, 'What's wrong with me? '
Counselling can offer you a space where you don’t have to pretend. A space where you can be yourself, without judgement or pressure to have everything worked out. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings, and begin to understand what you need to feel more comfortable being you.
My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and supported, while giving you the space to discover who you are beyond the expectations of other people. Counselling can be a place to slow down, reflect, and begin to understand what’s going on for you. I have experience in working with anxiety, low self-confidence, low mood, depression, self-esteem issues, stress, anger, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, grief and neurodiversity.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and down to earth. I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and what you would like to achieve from therapy. Then we'll work together to make progress towards them. With CBT, we'll look at patterns and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck and stagnant. Rewriting the narrative so you can become the version of yourself you want to be.
Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue, just need someone who will listen, or you are seeking self-awareness and personal growth. If you feel you would like to work with me or are curious about the process, please do get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call. I would be grateful to work with you.
If you feel ready to start your healing and self-discovery journey, or have any questions, please do get in touch by using the contact form or send me an email at counselling.with.sonam@gmail.com
