Hi, I’m Sonal.

A qualified integrative counsellor & psychotherapist. Registered member of the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and UKCP - UK Council for Psychotherapy.

I completed my training at The Minster Centre, London, which involved a number of therapeutic traditions: psychodynamic, attachment, body focused, relational theories, humanistic, mindfulness and CBT. I continue developing my work in a number of areas to provide a tailored, trauma informed, contemporary therapy space.

I work using a range of techniques and modalities, with a core base of including your identity, relational/family history, impact on body as we work and exploring your internal world & internalised messages. Here, I refer to internal world as how you speak to yourself, live day to day in your mind & body and experience other’s & the world around you.

I listen to what we sometimes can’t find words for but feel. Connecting to a deeper sense of what you may be contending with and who you are. Shame, fear and confusion can often be evoked in therapy and so I check in with you and we work at a consciously considered pace.

Therapy with me offers a chance to work towards understanding, connecting and finding a way forward. Building a safe space for us to be curious, challenge, explore and listen to what has bought you in.

I am bilingual but at the moment only offer therapy in English.
