Sobia Siddique, BACP

Sobia Siddique is a counsellor with six years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She works in English and Urdu and can support international clients. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space and meets people where they are on their path to change.

She draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centred ways of working so sessions stay focused on the person's own goals and experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when the main concerns are around relationships and intimacy.

Sobia also brings existential thinking into sessions, helping people reflect on meaning, identity and life choices when those issues feel pressing. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone wants clearer steps to make changes and find momentum.

She has a particular interest in cultural and faith-based tensions, and in situations where people feel pulled between tradition and modern pressures. That interest comes from her own lived experience and informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

In practice her work ranges from exploring relationship patterns to offering practical tools for everyday coping. Sessions can include reflective conversation, emotion-focused work, and goal-oriented steps to manage stress or build confidence. She aims to shape therapy collaboratively so it fits each person's needs.

Finding help can feel daunting. Sobia offers a calm, straightforward way of working so people can take the next steps at a pace that suits them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online or in person this work focuses on helping people notice emotional responses and develop safer ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person's experience at the heart of sessions and relies on empathetic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few ways of working early on and then settling on the methods that feel most helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to involve focused emotion work or reflective conversation from a familiar setting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and practical tools to suit remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss how best to structure time to meet your needs.
