Sonja Thorpe

I am  a Person Centred Counsellor. What this means that it is never going to be a one size fits all approach. As a Counsellor, I am here to walk with you on your journey to  work through the issues that concern you. While the Person Centred Approach forms the foundation of my work, I have knowledge and experience of a range of other approaches such as Psychodynamic Approach, Transactional Analysis,  CBT, Solution Focused Therapy etc.

In particular, over the years, I have worked well with clients experiencing depression, suicidal ideation and low self esteem but my experience is not limited to these issues.  I will work with you, with whatever ails you.

Honed through years of experience in the metal health arena and education I am able to build strong alliances with my clients and work with them to  find their own resolutions.  I believe in my clients and in turn this provides a strong base from which they can work through whatever it is that has brought them to counselling.

I offer a free introductory session. These sessions lasts for around 30 mins and is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have and for me to get a better understanding of whatever it is that has brought you to counselling.
