Soban Amir , BACP

Soban Amir is a psychotherapist who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He draws on five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He aims to make starting therapy simple and approachable for people unsure how to begin talking about their concerns.

He sees issues that arise from work pressure, relationship strain, cultural expectations and life transitions. He helps people talk through feelings of disconnection, low self-esteem, addiction struggles and intimacy or sexual concerns. He also supports people facing parenting challenges, career uncertainty, and questions around identity and relationships.

In sessions he adapts his style to the person's needs, combining practical strategies with open, respectful listening. He draws on methods that promote clearer thinking, values-led action and focused problem solving. Conversations are paced to what the person can manage, with emphasis on small, achievable changes.

He offers therapy in English, Hindi and Urdu and accepts clients across borders. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Fees vary depending on location and the platform subscription model.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions via the Start Therapy button. That initial step helps match priorities and plan the first appointments.

How practical therapies translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by focusing on living in line with chosen priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link and teaches straightforward tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and depression because it offers clear exercises to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and trying different ways of working if needed.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit varied lives. Video is useful for richer conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for check-ins, brief coaching and when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or travel.
