Sobia Siddique , BACP

Sobia Siddique is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ways of working. She prioritises relationships and emotional safety in sessions while also offering practical tools for daily life. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make therapy feel manageable from the first meeting.

Sobia has six years of professional experience supporting people with stress and anxiety. She also helps with depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She draws on her own cultural understanding when clients want to discuss faith or cultural pressures.

Her sessions often look at patterns in relationships and how early attachments shape present responses. Sometimes she helps clients notice unhelpful cycles and try different ways of relating. Other times she focuses on skills that reduce overwhelm and improve coping day to day.

Motivational interviewing and existential ideas also shape her work. That means conversations can include questions about values, meaning, and what matters most. Clients who prefer practical steps may work on small, achievable changes between sessions.

Sobia speaks English and Urdu and works with people from varied backgrounds. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice accepts international clients and offers sessions in several online formats.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translate online

Attachment-based work looks at connection patterns and how past bonds shape current relationships. In online sessions this may mean mapping typical relationship responses and trying new ways of expressing needs during conversations.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on recognising and naming emotions, and on reshaping interaction patterns that keep people stuck. Online sessions use guided conversations and exercises to help people identify feelings and practise different responses in real time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences, mixing relational exploration with practical skills where needed.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter updates and ongoing reflection possible between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily commitments.
