My name is Sonia, an Integrative Psychotherapist and founder of Balancing Bridges an online therapy service. As humans we are continuously moving between who we were, who we are and who we want to be, I offer therapy that supports you in bridging these parts of you and your life. I am a fully qualified and accredited psychotherapist and counsellor, as well as a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). 

I have experience working in diverse counselling settings, ranging from traditional settings such as charities to the dynamic health tech industry. This has equipped me with the ability to connect with individuals from various backgrounds, addressing a broad spectrum of psychological and social difficulties.

As an Integrative Therapist, I offer a safe space for you to process, explore, discover and live out your full potential. I am trained to work with a variety of different approaches, which allows me to tailor therapy to each individual, supporting therapeutic healing through thoughtful dialogue, silence and creative forms of expression. 

I deeply respect the courage it takes to continue or start your therapy journey. It is not always a straightforward path; it can feel challenging to embrace and navigate. I believe in each person’s inherent ability to take even the smallest steps towards the direction they need and deserve. Whether you’re struggling with relationship issues, past traumas, managing uncertainties, or feeling trapped in negative thought patterns, I’m here to help you explore, restore, and thrive.

I draw deep inspiration from creative expression, communication, and the art of meaning-making in all its forms—whether through visual art, language, or the subtleties of facial expressions and sounds.

Nature also inspires me profoundly, especially the beauty and resilience of natural processes, like the life cycle of a plant or the rhythmic rise and fall of the tide. I am constantly motivated to think outside the box and to challenge myself both physically and mentally, as a way of honoring the life I’ve been blessed with and the loved ones who have shaped who I am today. 

I enjoy a variety of hobbies and activities that keep me active, engaged, and constantly learning. Hiking is one of my favourite ways to explore nature, recharge, and stay fit. I also have a strong interest in creativity, which I express through various forms of art and projects that let me think outside the box.

Basketball keeps me physically active and is a great way to connect with others through teamwork and friendly competition. Additionally, I’m dedicated to learning languages, with a focus on Arabic and Sign Language, to understand different cultures, ways of thinking and communicating.
