Soban commonly works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on living with intention based on personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process that often combines listening with practical exercises to try between sessions.
