About Soraya
Soraya Hind helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and identity concerns. She also supports people facing LGBT issues, family conflict, low self-esteem, ADHD, and long-term health challenges. Soraya is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Soraya approaches counselling from a person-centred stance. That means she listens first and works at the client's pace. She aims to be non-judgemental and to create room for honest conversation about race, disability and cultural identity.
How Soraya works
In practice she uses a mix of methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused work. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help set short-term goals and measure progress.
Soraya draws on five years' experience supporting people through complex problems including domestic violence, sexual assault and chronic illness. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP. Clients can expect straightforward, compassionate conversation and help to build day-to-day coping skills.
Soraya aims to empower people to make changes that fit with their values and life circumstances.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online sessions
Soraya commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused work alongside client-centred listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and try small, value-led actions even when feelings are difficult. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress and adjusting to life changes. Trauma-focused therapy focuses on understanding and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events. It aims to stabilise reactions and build skills for coping with triggers and distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Soraya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a full session where seeing facial expression helps. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving or people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs.
