At Sonas Counselling Service we understand that it is possible for people to become stuck in patterns of thought and behaviour that are no longer purposeful and that these patterns may hinder a person’s personal and professional life, their wellbeing or their development. Our principle aim is to assist clients change these patterns.

Both counselling and psychotherapy involve a partnership between the therapist and the client where both work together towards resolving the client’s difficulties.

Is counselling for me?

Difficulties dealt with during the counselling sessions, typically, include any known situation which is causing distress. Some clients may be content with a small number of sessions while others may wish for additional assistance.

Is psychotherapy for me?

The model of psychotherapy employed by Sonas Counselling Service is a form of therapy formulated to identify and treat instances where there is psychological anxiety and distress but its origins are, by and large, unknown. Clients will tend to suffer in the long-term from one or more of a wide range of symptoms. The symptoms patients endure are an expression of their unresolved anxiety and distress.
