Soban Amir trained as a psychotherapist and works in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He meets people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood and helps them find practical ways forward.

He speaks English, Hindi and Urdu which can help people from different backgrounds feel understood. Soban tailors each session to the person in front of him. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make a real difference day to day. People come to him with relationship concerns, intimacy questions, parenting strain, career stress, body image or identity worries. He also works with issues such as addiction, codependency, abandonment and family-of-origin patterns.

He aims to create a respectful space where difficult topics can be named without judgement. In practice he listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. Conversations may include learning new ways to respond to upsetting thoughts, trying small behavioural changes, or building values-based routines.

He can also offer coaching-style support for career and life decisions. Soban says the therapeutic relationship is central. He encourages open discussion about culture, identity and power in therapy.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative so you shape the pace and focus as you go.

How Soban’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the client involved in those choices.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, need flexible timing or want ongoing, brief support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
