Clear answers to the questions people most often ask before working with Sonia.

How do I begin?+

Start with a free 20-minute consultation. It gives you space to talk through what is bringing you here, ask questions and decide whether this is the right fit. It is a conversation, not a therapy session.
→ Book a 20-minute consultation

How are sessions held?+

Sessions are held online. Choose a quiet, private place with a stable connection, and join a few minutes before your appointment so you can settle in. You may also like to have a glass of water, tissues and something to write with nearby.

What does the work involve?+

Sessions are primarily a space to talk, reflect and work with the patterns bringing you here. Sonia offers active listening, emotional processing, practical tools for self-awareness and mindset coaching. The aim is lasting, meaningful change in how you think, feel and move through your life. Creative and complementary practices are introduced only when they are relevant, useful and agreed with you.

How long is a session?+

Sessions are 45 minutes. Double sessions can be agreed in advance at twice the usual fee. Sessions begin and end at the agreed time.

How do I set up a Direct Debit?+

Set up a Direct Debit securely through GoCardless.

Can I reschedule?+

Yes, with at least 48 hours’ notice. Changes made within 48 hours are charged at the full session fee, as the appointment is reserved for you.
→ Reschedule your appointment

How long will the work take?+

There is no fixed timetable. The work is shaped around your circumstances and the change you want to make. We review the process together as it develops.

Is what I share confidential?+

What you bring is treated as private and confidential. There are limited legal and ethical exceptions, including a serious and immediate risk of harm, which Sonia will explain clearly.

Is holistic work suitable for everyone?+

Before receiving a holistic treatment, please consult a medical professional if you have a health condition, are pregnant or have any concern about whether it is right for you. Please then share any relevant circumstances before booking so Sonia can advise on suitability and help make the session safe. Holistic work supports wellbeing and does not replace medical care.
