SONALI BORKAR

My name is Sonali Borkar, and I am a dedicated Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist (PSRT). I bring a unique blend of personal experiences, professional qualifications, and cultural sensitivity to my practice. My background is enriched with a deep understanding of diverse cultures, as I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Gujarati. This allows me to connect with a wide range of clients ensuring that language is never a barrier to effective communication.

My journey towards becoming a PSRT was fuelled by a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of human relationships. I firmly believe in the inherent capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery within each of us. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a commitment to creating a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your concerns openly and honestly.

I have successfully completed a foundation course affiliated with the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), which equips me with the skills and knowledge to support individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatments. This comprehensive training enables me to provide empathetic, informed, and professional assistance, helping clients navigate the emotional and psychological challenges of fertility treatments with confidence and care.

I understand that vulnerability can be challenging, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

When you chose me as your PSRT, you’re not just choosing a professional; you’re choosing a compassionate ally on your journey toward greater well-being. Here are some reasons to consider when working with me:

• I take a Holistic Approach to therapy, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of your concerns.
