About Soraya
Soraya Hind is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, ADHD and identity concerns including LGBT and multicultural issues.
She offers straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and trying new ways of responding. Soraya draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, solution-focused techniques and a client-centred stance to keep work concrete and goal-oriented.
Soraya speaks from personal experience as a disabled mixed-race mother. That background shapes how she talks about race, disability and cultural identity. She is willing to look directly at the effects of racism, hate incidents and discrimination on mental health rather than avoid those topics.
In sessions she helps people untangle cultural messages and internalised stereotypes. That may involve practical exercises to test negative beliefs, short-term action plans, or conversations that reframe difficult memories and meanings. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than long theoretical discussion.
Her practice includes support after domestic violence, sexual assault and other trauma, plus long-term conditions and chronic health issues. Soraya encourages clear, paced work so clients can balance therapy with daily life and parenting demands.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and routines. It uses simple experiments and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and on taking steps that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. That approach can help with long-term issues like chronic health problems or ongoing stress.Soraya aims to work collaboratively to find the best approach. She will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match a person’s goals and daily life. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together rather than imposed by the counsellor.
The therapist’s biography did not list specific online formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when less bandwidth or quieter surroundings are needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and written tasks so they work well in remote sessions.
