Sonia Knight, integrative counsellor and EMDR therapist in Beckenham, Kent

Hello, I’m Sonia Knight, an integrative counsellor and EMDR therapist, and an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP).

About Me

How I Work

I work integratively, underpinned by a person-centred approach. This means our sessions are guided by you — by what feels right, safe, and helpful.

Therapy can take different forms: we might talk, walk together in nature, or use creative approaches when words are hard to find. My aim is to meet you where you are and help you move toward greater clarity, calm and self-acceptance.

Many people come to me because they feel:

  • Anxious, low, or emotionally exhausted

  • Stuck in unhelpful patterns or relationships

  • Overwhelmed by family or work demands

  • Unsure of who they are or what they want

  • Lost after bereavement, separation or change

  • Simply wanting to find a happier, more enjoyable life
