About Durdana
Durdana Soomro is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self‑esteem. She also helps people cope with relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, including concerns after infidelity and multicultural issues.
Durdana keeps conversations practical and straightforward. She listens first to understand each person’s situation. Then she helps set simple goals and steps that feel manageable.
How Durdana works
Sessions are adapted to what each person needs in the moment. Her clinical work draws on several approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas often shape her thinking.
She also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred practice when they fit the issue. People can expect a calm, respectful manner and a focus on building skills that work day to day. Durdana aims to help people feel more confident in decisions and relationships.
She supports people as they try out new ways of coping and connecting. Sessions may suit someone who wants a direct, warm counsellor and clear tools for stress, worry and relationship strain. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice patterns in their relationships and try new ways of connecting when old patterns cause pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact; it gives practical exercises to reduce worry and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on emotions in relationships and helps people express and respond to feelings in clearer ways to improve connection.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and try different techniques when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, writing through thoughts, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options allow people to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
