About Sobia
Sobia Siddique offers a warm, respectful approach to therapy grounded in attachment work and emotionally-focused methods. She communicates plainly and meets people where they are, helping them make small, practical changes that matter day to day. With six years of experience, Sobia supports people through anxiety, stress, depression and trauma.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting concerns and career stress. Her practice includes work on self-esteem, anger, bipolar management, ADHD and coping with big life changes.
How Sobia works
Sobia draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches alongside client-centred and existential ideas. That means sessions may look different depending on what someone needs - sometimes reflecting on relationship patterns, sometimes making sense of values and meaning, and sometimes practising tools to reduce immediate distress.
She is able to discuss cultural and faith-related aspects when relevant, particularly experiences common to people from South Asian Muslim backgrounds, because she understands those perspectives from lived experience. Conversations about spirituality are welcome when the person requests them. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and are available to international clients.
Sobia works with practical session formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different schedules and preferences.

Online support options
Attachment and Emotion-focused approaches online
Sobia commonly uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people relate now and helps with trust, intimacy and communication problems. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses in close relationships to reduce distress and improve connection.She also uses client-centred principles, which place the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and shape the pace and direction of the work. Finding the best approach is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options, try methods in-session and adapt them based on the person’s goals, needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and life commitments and to maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
