Life can be full of highs and lows, and sometimes you just need some extra support. My name is Sonya Jordan, and I would like to work with you as you navigate this season of your life. I bring over 12 years of dedicated experience in social services, holding both a Master of Social Work and a Master of Divinity. With dual Masters I bring a unique and holistic perspective to the realm of counselling.

My practice is rooted in a strength-based approach, ensuring that every individual feels valued and empowered to explore and solve their challenges. I create a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. My therapeutic methods are solution-focused, incorporating cognitive behavioural approaches which I use to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to develop healthier patterns of thinking and behaving. Through individual counselling, I strive to support individuals in finding the tools they need to increase confidence and establish a sense of purpose. I am inspired by the resilience of the individuals I work with, and I am committed to providing the highest standard of care.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my professional journey. I am passionate about guiding my clients towards achieving their goals and improving their overall well-being. Let’s work together to create meaningful solutions and lasting change in your life.
