Soraya Hind helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and parenting challenges. She supports those dealing with family strain, identity and LGBT concerns, self-esteem and ADHD. Soraya also works with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, chronic illness and multicultural or race-related issues.

Soraya is a BACP counsellor with five years' practice. She draws on practical, person-focused methods to keep sessions straightforward. Conversations are aimed at understanding what matters to the individual and finding small, doable steps forward.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and direct. She invites people to talk about identity, cultural pressures and the impact of racism or disability hate incidents. Soraya uses these discussions to help people make sense of painful experiences and the feelings that follow.

Clinical tools include acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioural strategies and trauma-focused approaches. She also uses client-centred and solution-focused methods when they fit the person’s goals. The emphasis is on what helps someone feel steadier and more able to cope in daily life.

Soraya says her lived experience as a disabled mixed-race mother shapes how she understands cultural and identity issues. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore trauma and rebuild a sense of agency. Practicalities such as session format and scheduling are arranged to suit each person.

Approaches that guide online sessions

The therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most in life. ACT can help when worry, low mood or painful memories make it hard to move forward.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as needed in a collaborative way.

Online therapy is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility around work, childcare and mobility, and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
