About me
My passion is embodiment and healing the effects of trauma. I am a qualified Occupational Therapist and have been working in mental health since 2010; including with adults in acute and rehabilitation mental health hospital wards, community mental health, teenagers with learning disabilities in schools and older adults with dementia.
My work embraces diversity, including all ethnicities, disabilities, genders, sexual and relationship preferences. I offer a safe and nurturing space to let go of what does not serve you and to reconnect with your Authentic Self.
My approach is holistic, integrative, trauma-informed and solution-focused. It incorporates the cognitive, behavioural and interpersonal, whilst harnessing the power of the imagination and the wisdom of the body to deal with mental and emotional distress in the here and now.
I have an Enhanced DBS and am registered with various regulatory organisations including: HCPC, GHRC, MHGI, ETSI
All sessions are currently offered online only.
For a limited time, I am offering prospective new clients a free 15 mins clarity call to see how it feels to work together. Email me to begin your transformational journey.

Testimonials
"Sonalle is really responsive and makes me feel safe in talking about a variety of problems without fearing judgement. She’s really helped bring myself back in touch with how I’m feeling."
"I can only say that Sonalle absolutely exceeded any expectations I had for a therapist and I will carry the work we did together forward. I feel much more prepared to manage lifes stressors and am so grateful to her for that!"
"I always find Sonalle a supportive listener, a good person to share with, someone who is good at clarifying/summarizing for me what I have been trying to say. And who gives me gentle challenges or invitations to consider looking at things in new or unfamiliar ways. Overall I think I have become kinder to myself thanks to working with Sonalle."
