My name is Sonika and I am a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist working with Think CBT. I also provide CBT online via Skype and video-link.

As well as being a Clinical Psychologist where I trained within a range of different settings including with children and young people, families and adults. I used a variety of different approaches including narrative therapy, systemic therapy and psychodynamic therapies. I am also trained as a CBT and EMDR therapist. I have specialist training in third wave CBT approaches including compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and mindfulness. I have completed specialist long term health conditions training, which means I have worked with people suffering from physical health conditions using a psychological approach to improve their mental health. 

I have over 10 years experience of working within NHS mental health services where I worked with people suffering from different psychological difficulties including:

- Low self-esteem
- Post traumatic stress disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety
- OCD
- Health Anxiety
- Phobias
- Social anxiety
- Physical health conditions including chronic pain

I have used trauma-focused CBT and EMDR to treat people who are finding it hard to move forward from difficult traumatic experiences, through working together I am able to use evidence-based practice to facilitate improvement in difficult symptoms.

Having worked in a primary care mental health service, I have worked with a range of different people from all backgrounds and place high importance on the therapeutic relationship to ensure trust, which is a key component for good therapy.

As an active member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy and the Health and Care Professionals council I adhere to all codes of conduct and professional practice required.
