Hi, I’m Aminata Sonko, a BACP-registered counsellor with a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and over four years of professional experience in the UK. I specialise in supporting individuals facing challenges such as bereavement, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and confidence issues.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that the strength to overcome life’s obstacles lies within you. My approach is compassionate, person-centred, and solution-focused, tailored to empower you to take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and I am here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. Whether you are struggling with personal challenges or seeking clarity and motivation, I am committed to supporting you with empathy, respect, and professionalism.
You don’t have to go through this alone—I am here to help you navigate your journey toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Let’s take this step together.
Looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
