Sonja in a nutshell:

• Qualified Transpersonal Counsellor and Psychotherapist;

• Accredited by UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP);

• Sessions in English and German;

• Corporate background in Journalism and Global Media;

• Specialised in Spiritual Life Coaching, Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga;

• In-depth experience working with expats, aspiring career changers and relationship challenges;

• Masters Degree (MA) in Sociology (Germany);

• Sonja works remotely with online sessions via for example Zoom or Skype.

Having spent the majority of her adult life as an expat in foreign countries and undertaken a complete career change, she is particularly passionate about coaching people in similar situations.

Combining hands-on, concrete problem-solving with creative personal development is particularly important to her and a key feature and quality of her work.

Sonja is German but has spent more than half of her adult life in London. While living in London, she completed five years of rigorous training and qualified as a Counsellor & Psychotherapist with a postgraduate diploma recognised by the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Additionally, she studied Life Coaching and NLP.

Sonja works in private practice and, additionally, her clinical experience stems from working in diverse health, social care, community and academic settings, including London Metropolitan University and the NHS.

She is also a Sociologist (M.A.), which contributes a strong systemic perspective to her approach. To Sonja, our internal world and subjective experience, as well as our behaviour cannot be understood separated from the complex dynamics of relationships we have with the world around us.

Working integratively, she draws from a broad range of theories and techniques and will tailor her way of working to your individual, unique nature as well as to your specific needs, issue, and circumstances. In a nutshell, you could say it's about gaining a deeper awareness of yourself and developing something that works well for you, bringing the change you long for.

Sonja has a special interest working with mothers (as an as yet unfulfilled desire, currently pregnant or with children who might or not be biologically related to you).

Prior to becoming a counsellor, she pursued a career in journalism and worked for global media organisations. Having experienced high-pressured and fast-changing work environments first hand has been very beneficial for working with clients in the areas of stress management, career coaching and finding purpose in your work life.

Kind Words of a Happy Client

"I was at a bit of a loose end in my career. My first role following my PhD had left me uncertain what job I would be suitable for. Sonja provided perspective to tackle some of the anxiety left over from previous roles, helped me define my values and consider suitable career paths."
