I’m Sonica Mushi

I have BA degrees in Journalism and Psychology through RAU (South Africa) and UNISA (South Africa). I also have an AIM awards Level 2 Certificate and a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Practice. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I have experience in facilitating women’s groups, one-to-one counselling and couples counselling.

I’m trained in…

  • Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) for couples

  • Schema Therapy

  • Humanistic approach

  • CBT

  • Psychodynamic therapy

  • Bereavement counselling

I’ve also…

worked for non-profit organisations and in Private Practice including:

  • CPT in Covent Garden

  • MIND

  • Headstrong

  • Crossroads-Services (which is my Private Practice)

I also have an extensive history in volunteering with people in later stages in life, children, and families of people with chronic or terminal illness. As part of my CPD, I am undergoing further training in Schema Therapy, Attachment Theory and therapy for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Although I work with a wide range of issues, I particularly like working with trauma cases and narcissistic abuse. 

My counselling practice is based in Hammersmith, London. I see a lot of clients from Shepherd's Bush, Chiswick, East Sheen, Barnes, Fulham and Putney and people who travel through Hammersmith for work as I'm a 2 minute walk from the Broadway – clients can easily drop in before or after work. 

I have worked for a daily newspaper in South Africa before coming over to England. I have also worked in the legal field for 12 years. When I'm not seeing clients, I do volunteer work and write articles and parenting book reviews.

 I operate under the BACP's code of ethics and am a registered member of the BACP. I can also be found on the Counselling Directory and on the Psychology Today websites.
