Compassionate Online Counselling Australia-Wide
At Mindnest Counselling, I offer online therapy that meets you with compassion, insight, and no judgment.
— Sonya Thompson
My name is Sonya, and I am a warm, trauma-informed counsellor offering online counselling for adults across Sydney and Australia. With a unique background as a former police officer and experience in out-of-home care and the legal sector, I brings a grounded, real-world perspective to my work — paired with deep empathy and emotional presence.
My approach is gentle, client-focused, and evidence-based, creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. Sessions are delivered via secure telehealth, making therapy flexible and accessible from wherever you are.
I support individuals through a range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, low self-worth, and life transitions — with a strong interest in ADHD in women and late diagnosis. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, their values, and their sense of direction.
