How Sonia uses CBT and solution-focused ideas online
Sonia draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety, low mood or distress. CBT offers practical exercises and clear steps to try between sessions, which can help with phobias, panic and mood problems.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable goals and build on what is already working. This approach keeps sessions directed towards practical change and helps people track progress in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sonia works with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find online work convenient because it makes it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduces travel time, and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements with Sonia when you book so sessions can fit into your routine and priorities.
