Sonya aims to provide you with an opportunity to explore what is happening for you and how you would like things to be different. With a space where you can feel safe, you can develop an understanding of yourself and the steps you need to make so you can live the life you want to.

Sonya has brought the CFT approach to her work in private practice, seeing the difference it makes to clients and their ability to make sustainable changes in their lives. Compassion is interwoven into training as a Mindfulness Teacher, with a daily practice and integrating this into her daily life, Sonya was naturally led to train as an Advanced CFT practitioner and Compassion Focused Therapy.

Sonya Black is humbled when working with her clients, the incredible courage and ability of people to be able to make changes so that they can live the life they choose.
