I am a qualified counsellor based in the UK with three years of experience supporting people through trauma, domestic abuse (including narcissistic abuse), bereavement, grief, and loss. I also help clients struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, as well as those going through major life changes or exploring faith and spirituality.
My interest in counselling comes from my own experiences and the understanding that healing isn’t always straightforward. I know how difficult it can be to feel unheard, misunderstood, or stuck in painful patterns. That’s why I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly.
I use an integrative approach, which means I blend different therapy methods depending on your needs. Some people benefit from exploring their past and how it shapes their present, while others prefer to focus on practical ways to manage emotions and move forward. I use different elements from approaches like psychodynamic work, attachment theory, CBT techniques, somatic work, and creative therapies—but always in a way that makes sense for you. There’s no set formula, and we’ll work together to find what helps you best.
I know reaching out for help isn’t easy, but you don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what you need, I’m here to listen, support, and help you find clarity and a way forward at a pace that feels right for you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sonja Rodney. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Immediately felt connected with Sonja & was comfortable from the first session I had! She doesn’t come across very formal or scripted, she’s natural with her approach & that’s what I love. Looking forward to more sessions. The best therapist I’ve had and this is my second time!
Written on Mar 13, 2025 after therapy with Sonja for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
