About Soraya
Soraya Hind is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with people facing grief, parenting strains, ADHD and identity questions, including issues linked to race and culture. Soraya describes herself as a disabled, mixed-race mother and draws on her lived experience in sessions.
She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about painful experiences. In conversations she listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them name what is hard and what they want to change. Practical steps and small goals are used alongside reflective talking.
Soraya practises from a person-centred base and also uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a single fixed style. This can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, or trying brief solution-focused tasks between sessions.
Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, racism and disability hate. She pays attention to how cultural and intergenerational issues shape a person’s sense of self. Sessions aim to empower people to find clearer choices amid difficult feelings.
Soraya holds BACP as a listed credential and has five years of experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom and communicates in English, and she is open to clients joining from other countries.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace. It helps when someone needs acceptance, a chance to make sense of their feelings, and time to find their own answers. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at values and small actions that matter to the person, helping them move toward a life they value while coping with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to try different responses to old patterns.Finding the right approach is part of how Soraya works. She will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking from their own surroundings or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to practical needs rather than imposing a single structure.
