Recent reviews
In my time having therapy with Sonia, she has been a great help. She always gives me the space to talk, whilst still helping me to realise things that maybe I hadn’t thought of. Her patience is always appreciated, and she is always kind. She is positive without being too over the top positive, and she is also fair.
More about Sobia
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression.
I also support people with cultural and religious difficulties, especially those coming from a south Asian Muslim background, like myself. This is an area that people seem to have the least support in, especially when adapting in today's modern society.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I’m very happy with how things are progressing. Sobia has been the perfect. Voice for me.
Sobia doesn’t ask unnecessary questions, nor does she make any judgements. She actively hears my concerns and is direct with me (which is what I need). There is no condescension nor ‘knowing all’ or arrogance.
Sobia is very compassionate and understanding therapist. Offers lots of insights that help me understand myself better. She is very supportive and I truly recommend her.
I found my sessions with Sobia really helpful because I found a space that I could have to rant and to also work through some of the emotional issues I was having. I would highly recommend Sobia for anyone with special educational needs as he really understands how this can effect a therapy session Thankyou so much Sobia
I have had a great experience with Sobia. She listens and gives great advice. She’s very respectful and she’s helped me a lot in just a few sessions. I would definitely recommend her 10/10.
Sobia is excellent. She listens, empathises and offers support, advice and appropriate strategies to help get you where you want to be. Highly recommended
My sessions with Sobia have really helped me reframe how I think about the things I've been struggling with - family, relationship, self. She asks me questions that help me reflect and see things in a different light. She knows when to let me pour my emotions out and when to intervene, and is able to create a space for me to express myself without judgement. Every session I've had with her has left me with something to reflect on, some new way to think about an issue or something that I could take action on - which has helped me perceive the things that have happened or are happening to me in a healthier way. I highly recommend working with Sobia!
Sobia has been the grounding force that I didn’t know I need’ the safe space that she provides allows me process my life and the issues that come up. From my relationship with my boyfriend, family, friends, and myself she has helped me to sift through things and get down to the root of the problem! She is extremely empathetic and isn’t afraid to help me by telling my hard truths. Cannot express how helpful she has been!!
Sobia has helped me so much in all aspects of my life from ptsd to general stresses or everyday life she has given me a safe space to offload and also to just have a chat with out any judgement I always look forward to my sessions with her
Thank you so much Sobia for helping me to challenge my own thoughts and for listening to me, it helps a lot.
