Healing Journeys

  • I’ve been seeing Soniya as my therapist for a while now, and the experience has been really positive. Soniya has a natural ability to listen attentively, allowing me to express myself fully without feeling rushed or interrupted. This has made a huge difference in how comfortable I feel during our sessions—there’s a sense of genuine care and understanding. What I appreciate most is how well she explains psychological concepts and breaks down complex ideas into something I can easily understand and relate to. Her guidance has helped me analyze my thoughts and emotions in a way that leads to real personal growth and insight. She doesn't just give answers, but rather empowers me to explore my own thought processes, which has been transformative for me. The sessions are always structured in a way that feels open, yet purposeful, and I never feel judged for sharing even my most difficult or complicated feelings. Above all, she has always been so encouraging and supportive. I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a therapist who provides not just support but real, meaningful guidance.

  • "I had the pleasure of receiving counseling from Soniya during my pregnancy while I was navigating some challenging family dynamics. From our very first session, Soniya was incredibly understanding and empathetic toward my feelings. She created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and concerns. Soniya provided guidance that was suited to my needs, helping me to develop strategies to cope with the difficulties I was facing. I found stability and clarity even before completing all of our scheduled sessions. Today, I am living with a renewed sense of purpose, working towards my goals, and feeling grateful for each day. I cannot thank Soniya enough for her support and guidance during such a pivotal time in my life. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of compassionate and effective counseling."

  • "Soniya has been working with me for the last few months and has become a major part of my recovery process.
     She maintains the perfect blend of non-judgmental, professional distance together with clear emotional connection, thus helping me to feel relaxed and confident in her presence. She listens carefully without interrupting and guides me towards conclusions and coping strategies in a clear, accessible way. Her soft gentle manner is calming in itself.
    Therefore, I look forward to our sessions and always emerge feeling restored, refreshed and ready to face life’s challenges with more confidence."

  • "I just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for our sessions together. I can't really even put in to words how much you helped me! You have such a talent for listening and seeing a perspective I would never have considered but then you are able to so clearly and kindly explain everything in ways that I genuinely understand and can apply to my life. I have made so many helpful notes from our sessions which I am already constantly referring to and the reading and writing materials you recommended are also helping me. I really appreciate everything you have done. You are the most genuine, helping, kind person and I hope your calling serves you well in your life too!"

  • "Dear Soniya, I am blessed that you have helped me by processing my childhood trauma through EMDR. You are the first person I have shared my trauma. During the sessions I had no fear of judgement. I was confident to share my inner wounds. Your soft voice and listening heart gave me courage to open up and share my very deepest concerns. My suffering happened when I was five year old and I seeked help when I am 52years old now. Through these sessions I felt valued, validated and empowered. I will treasure all the skills I learnt during the session. Thank you."

  • "Our session were very helpful. I left in such a good mood, even when I spoke to my mum she said "you're always in a good mood after your counselling." Thank you again for everything you did to help me. I will always be so grateful to you for the therapy sessions we had together."

  • "Thanks again for all of your help, your counselling has helped me tremendously. You’re the first person I’ve spoken to that’s actually made a positive impact on me. I’ve been journaling more lately and have started reading the book I’ve been having a lot of aha moments reading this after talking with you."

  • Soniya is a wonderful counselor. During my sessions with her, she listened to me with deep empathy. One thing I really appreciate is how she collaborated with me to create action plans at the end of each session. Through her assigned reflections and tasks, it allowed me to work on myself even outside their sessions. She is extremely supportive and kind. Looking back, I have grown a lot as an individual and I feel more confident about myself. I'm grateful for her guidance and the positive impact she has had on my journey.

Hello, I’m Soniya

Move Ahead Counseling helps clients move ahead in life when they are feeling overwhelmed, distressed or stuck in the patterns that are no longer serving the purpose. We collaboratively set goals that clients want to work towards and develop a treatment plan according to their needs and values. 

Therapy is not just about distress or disorder - it is also about development, growth and empowering yourselves. The pace of modern-day life subjects us to an immense amount of stress that may be related to family dynamics, work situations, transitions in life, relationships, illnesses, financial situations and so on.  

We cannot simply wish away our problems completely or prevent adversities from happening but we can work on ourselves, process the issues we are facing and respond to life situations in a more constructive way to lead a more meaningful and purposeful life. 

It is important to realise that addressing psychological problems is not an overnight transformation. Being realistic about therapy goals will propel your journey forward. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and with the proper support, recovery is possible. Take the first step towards better mental health by reaching out and prioritizing your well-being.

How we can work together

In therapy, I prioritize crafting a personalized approach that aligns with your individual journey and aspirations. Your comfort and support are essential as we explore your life experiences, relationships, and challenges. Together, we'll uncover and address thought and behavior patterns that may no longer serve you, while I assist you in developing new perspectives and healthier ways of relating that truly resonate with your core values and goals.
