About Sonam
Sonam Nagrani helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, DBT, EMDR and mindfulness to work with practical problems and painful memories. Sonam is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has ten years' clinical experience in a mixture of NHS, private and voluntary settings.
She sees each person as an individual and focuses on what is troubling them now. Sessions typically involve talking through difficult feelings, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and trying new ways of coping. Where relevant she may use structured techniques from CBT or DBT, or EMDR for disturbing memories.
Her work also covers relationship problems, parenting and family stress, workplace issues, career concerns and midlife questions. Additional focus areas include communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, hoarding, and issues affecting veterans and armed forces personnel.
Sonam offers therapy in English and Hindi and accepts international clients. She aims to be straightforward about practical steps and tools people can use between sessions. People sometimes bring specific problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety, or difficulty with forgiveness, and sessions are arranged to address those needs directly.
Before a first session she asks people to describe their main concerns so she can plan the initial work. That first meeting is used to clarify goals and agree what kind of techniques might help next. Ongoing work mixes skill-building, reflective conversation and focused trauma approaches when needed.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Sonam commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing as part of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which can be practised and reviewed during online sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories using guided attention and processing; it can be adapted for remote consultation when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals and preferences in the first meeting and then suggest techniques to try together. That collaborative planning means the method can change as needs become clearer, and sessions are adjusted to what helps most.
The original biography does not list which session formats are provided, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, reduce time spent getting to appointments, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to deliver structured CBT tasks, mindfulness exercises and reflective conversation without requiring an in-person visit.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
