About Sonam

Sonam Nagrani is a Clinical Psychologist with ten years of experience working across NHS, private and voluntary settings. She draws on that background to tailor therapy to each person rather than use a one-size-fits-all method. Sonam aims to be warm, non-judgemental and straightforward in sessions. She speaks English and Hindi and is based in the United Kingdom.

She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her interests include complex post-traumatic stress and workplace issues, and she can also help with panic, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

Sonam uses a blend of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centred work to focus on the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools to address patterns of thinking and emotion.

For trauma-related work she includes Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and mindfulness strategies when appropriate. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with a focus on skills people can use between meetings. Sonam encourages people to set realistic goals and to check progress as therapy continues.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English and Hindi. If you are unsure whether her way of working fits your situation, she asks people to make initial contact and discuss their needs before arranging the first session.

How Sonam uses different approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set the pace of therapy. It is useful when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is intended for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It is often used when past events continue to cause distress in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that suit those aims. This may involve trying different techniques and checking what helps most as therapy progresses.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online work easier to fit into a workday, to sustain progress between meetings and to access a wider choice of therapists, but check what is offered when you arrange the first appointment.
