Sonal Pandya-Boda

I am only seeing clients via zoom. I am currently located in UAE, Abu Dhabi but trained and lived in the UK. I will occasionally come to the UK and offer face2face sessions alongside the online sessions. 

If you are interested please contact me via email: spbcounselling@gmail.com

In terms of timings and availability, I have some flexibility and work with clients internationally. 

Many of my clients struggle with overwhelm, shame, not feeling good enough, disconnection and wanting to understand who they really are. There is often a desire to feel joy more freely and to be themselves. This frequently comes in the context of cultural identity with gender and family dynamics.

Some of my clients come in due to stresses in work, family or life circumstances and feeling the pressure to do things right and perfectly. But not being able to keep up or the right way isn’t feeling right anymore.

My intention will always be to keep your goals for therapy in mind and for us to discover resources alongside your sessions, to cultivate your inner resilience, strengths, curiousity and compassion. To move from a place of stuck-ness, stress or struggle to choice and flexibility.

I work as an integrative counsellor, meaning I use and combine elements from a wide range of contemporary and traditional counselling and therapy approaches; to include and work with a deeper understanding of the body-mind connection and self. I adapt and tailor the sessions to you, including your identity such as but not limited to: gender, spirituality, race, culture, health, class and sexuality.

I understand beginning therapy can be daunting. Meeting for our first session, allows us to see how we would feel working together and give space to discuss your ideas and expectations for the therapy. Have a look at my website for more info and if you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me.

I work online and am in the process of offering face to face.

I offer a warm and open space, where you can describe what is bringing you in, in the safety of your own pace. There are times in life where we cannot continue as we are, when experiencing deep distress, challenges and difficulties. Exploring what may be impacting you, in a confidential session can provide a useful support. Where what you might need right now to cope and be supported, can be considered. It is important to recognise each person’s individuality and therefore, I consider carefully the resources and tools offered accordingly, within the sessions.

Any questions, please email me at: spbcounselling@gmail.com or check out my website: www.spbcounselling.com

We meet online via zoom, for 50 minutes where I will give you space to explore what has bought you to counselling now and what you are hoping for the therapy to support you with. The session will be open for you to share what feels comfortable and gives you a flavour of how I would work with you. It allows us to get an idea of each other and importantly, whether we click as the right fit to support you.

The first session is also great to answer any questions you may have and to get an idea of what therapy might be like with me & for you!
