Sonia Knight

Please contact me to discuss the times and days I have open for new clients. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation, allowing us to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.

Working therapeutically, I support clients through challenges such as grief, anxiety, low mood, stress and change. 

 My background includes working in a hospice,  where I have supported bereaved clients, offering a space to process grief. 

I have worked in school settings, helping children and adolescents navigate their emotional landscapes. 

I work with children and young people in the care system helping them to discover who they are and their true worth ensuring they achieve their potential.

By supporting parents and carers who wish to explore parenting issues or challenges, I want to improve and enhance their family dynamics. 

I am here to support you through various challenges, including:

• Anxiety: I can help you develop coping strategies and find relief, whether it's daily worries or overwhelming feelings.

• Stress: Life’s pressures can be daunting; together, we can explore the sources of your stress and create a plan to manage it effectively.

• Low Mood: If you’re feeling down or lacking motivation, I will work with you to identify underlying issues and find a more positive outlook.

• Bereavement: Grieving can be a profound and personal journey. I provide a safe space to process your feelings and memories, helping you navigate this difficult time.

• Parenting Challenges: I understand the complexities of parenting and can assist you in addressing family dynamics, communication issues, and the emotional needs of your children.

My aim is to empower you to rediscover your strengths and build the life you envision. Together, we’ll work toward creating resilience, personal growth, and the fulfilment you seek.

Be the person you want to be.

A Warm and Friendly Space

I offer a warm, empathetic space where clients can feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. My integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to meet each individual’s unique needs, incorporating techniques from humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural approaches and life coaching principles. I aim to support clients wherever they are emotionally, fostering resilience and encouraging personal growth.

My experience spans across age groups and backgrounds. I work with adults, supporting them through challenges such as stress, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues, grief, and loss. I also work with children, young people, parents, and carers, including those involved in fostering and adoption, addressing issues unique to each stage of life. This includes bereavement, divorce and family dynamics.

I use an integrative, person-centred approach, adapting therapy to align with each client’s emotional state and needs. I also incorporate life coaching techniques to support personal development and practical goal setting.

I offer therapy in several formats: 

Face-to-face from my home in Beckenham.

Remotely via Zoom or phone. 

Walk-and-talk sessions in local parks around Beckenham and Crystal Palace.

In our first session, we’ll take time to explore your reasons for seeking support and discuss your goals for therapy. This session is also an opportunity for us to determine if my approach suits your needs and to establish a foundation of trust and understanding. My aim is to support you in living your best life—finding joy, happiness, and the confidence to achieve your goals.

Whether you are coming to counselling for the first time or looking for a new approach, it is a big step. Let's make sure that this is right for you.
