About Sonam
Sonam Nagrani is a clinical psychologist with ten years of experience working across the NHS, personal and voluntary sectors in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, non-judgemental presence and takes time to understand each person's situation before suggesting a way forward. Sonam speaks English and Hindi and aims to make it easy to begin talking about difficult feelings.
She primarily helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts. Panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace problems and issues related to military service are also within her focus areas. Sonam uses an integrative approach that draws on different methods to suit each person.
She often blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing is one option she may use for trauma-related concerns. The first sessions are used to understand what matters most to the person seeking help.
From there she and the client agree on simple, measurable goals and small steps to reach them. Sessions can include short exercises, gentle exposure tasks, and mindfulness practices to manage stress and panic. She offers therapy in several formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
International clients may be supported depending on circumstances. Sonam describes herself as compassionate, understanding and focused on helping people regain a sense of control and direction.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps the person set their own goals, which works well in conversation-based video or phone sessions.Cognitive behavioural therapy is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. It suits anxiety, panic and workplace stress because it gives clear techniques to practise between sessions, including short homework tasks that fit online formats.
Dialectical behaviour therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Skills training and coaching around difficult moments can be delivered through video, phone or messaging to support real-time use of techniques.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will assess needs and preferences in early sessions and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most and what a person finds workable in their daily life.
Online therapy brings practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access for international clients. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of remote formats to fit different routines and goals.
