About Sohail
Sohail Sultan is a PACFA counsellor who has spent seven years working with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship strain. He offers calm, straightforward support and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Sohail creates space for honest conversation without judgement.
He focuses on common problems such as trauma and abuse, depression, grief and intimacy-related concerns. He also helps with sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem struggles.
How Sohail works
Practical coping strategies are combined with attention to how past attachment experiences affect present relationships. Sohail uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean learning new skills to manage strong feelings, practising different ways of thinking, or working through painful memories at a pace the client sets.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused while also respecting each person’s values and culture. People come to Sohail for help with parenting stress, career dilemmas, money worries and difficult life transitions such as separation. He also supports those dealing with panic attacks, bipolar mood swings and problems with control or perfectionism.
Work often centres on building clearer communication and steadier emotional regulation. Sessions are offered in English and are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sohail asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match needs and then schedule sessions according to availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How Sohail’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety or low mood, then practising new, more helpful responses. This approach works well for panic, depression and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and communication problems.Sohail treats the choice of approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend ways of working that fit. If an approach doesn't feel right, he adapts the plan so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and learning new skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and reach appropriately qualified therapists from different locations.
