Sobia is the first therapist to listen to me deeply- not just addressing my current anxieties and concerns, but trying to uncover what else is going on and has happened in my life up to this point. I have benefited from each session by her intuitive questions, empathy, and expertise. I feel so grateful to have been matched with her! Thank you!

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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.

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

Sobia is excellent. She listens, empathises and offers support, advice and appropriate strategies to help get you where you want to be. Highly recommended

Reviewed January 2023

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!!
