WHAT I DO
Most of us experience times which are painful, confusing and a struggle. For some, these problems have lasted a long time and come with difficult symptoms. Others might be experiencing a shorter period of crisis or confusion.
Seeing a professional counsellor can help you express pent-up feelings and thoughts. This helps promote understanding, clarity, relief, and peace. It can also help you find solutions, learn strategies and tools to resolve your issues, and use different therapy approaches to heal unresolved emotions at a deeper level.
Sonia is a sensitive, compassionate, insightful counsellor. After working in this industry for over 30 years she is committed to making you feel safe, earning your trust, and assisting you to reach your goals. She welcomes adults and young adults (15 years +)
