Sobia Gohar , ACA

Sobia Gohar is an ACA counsellor who helps people working through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and grief. She speaks English and Urdu and brings seven years of practice to everyday concerns. Her manner is direct and supportive, helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Her work suits people who want practical strategies alongside space to talk. She focuses on breaking unhelpful patterns and building emotional regulation skills. Sessions aim to be collaborative so clients can set goals and track small changes over time.

Sobia uses a trauma-informed stance with person-centred listening. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help change thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and coping with life changes.

Her background includes seven years helping people with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and the effects of abuse or abandonment. She also supports those dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, parenting stress and self-esteem struggles. Sobia pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that often keep problems repeating.

Sessions are practical and focused. People leave with clear tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication and rebuilding daily routines. She works with individuals who want steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding where you are. It helps people feel heard and respected while they work through difficult emotions and make choices that suit their values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy uses practical steps to change the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and unhelpful behaviour patterns, and gives clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest options to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video gives a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection and flexible scheduling.

These formats make it simpler to keep therapy in a busy life, whether you need a lunchtime check-in or ongoing weekly sessions. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt methods so online work remains practical and goal-focused.
