Sobia Gohar, ACA

Sobia Gohar welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She is an ACA counsellor with seven years' experience and she helps people who are struggling with relationship problems, grief, trauma, addictions and everyday habits like sleep and routine. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and aim to be straightforward and practical.

Sobia combines a person-centred way of listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. That means she spends time understanding what matters most to each person while also teaching simple strategies to manage thoughts, moods and behaviours. Clients are supported to notice patterns and try new approaches between sessions.

Her work often focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around commitment and intimacy. She also supports people coping with anger, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and family conflict. The emphasis is on building everyday skills that make daily life easier.

Sobia aims to offer clear direction alongside empathic listening. She values steady progress and practical tools that can be used outside the therapy room. If someone wants to better understand recurring patterns and make lasting changes, she provides a focused, compassionate space to do that.

Clients can expect a structured approach that balances talking and doing. Sobia encourages small experiments and revisits what works, so goals are realistic and measurable over time.

Approaches that shape online work and what they do

Sobia commonly uses person-centred approaches and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teach concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; this is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sobia works collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. The focus is on making therapy usable in everyday life - shorter check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or tools to practise between meetings - depending on what suits each person best.
