About Sobia
Sobia Siddique is a counsellor who blends attachment-focused and human-centred ways of working. She offers a warm, respectful space to talk about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, shame and low self-esteem. She also helps with grief, parenting pressures, career strain and financial worries when they affect emotional wellbeing.
She brings six years of experience in practice and speaks English and Urdu. Her background includes personal insight into cultural and faith-based pressures faced by people from South Asian Muslim communities. That lived perspective often informs gentle, culturally aware conversations about identity and values.
Her style is adaptable rather than fixed. Some sessions look at patterns in relationships and attachment. Other times the work focuses on meaning, identity and life choices using existential ideas. Practical tools and motivational techniques are used when people need concrete ways to cope day to day.
Spirituality can be part of the work if the client wants to explore it. She aims to match the approach to each person's needs, pacing the work to feel manageable. Therapy is presented as a shared process, with the client involved in shaping goals and next steps.
Sobia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, chronic illness impact, codependency, bereavement and divorce-related stress.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. In sessions this looks like mapping patterns in relationships and noticing where hurt or avoidance shows up, which can help with anxiety, intimacy concerns and attachment issues.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings and follows the client's pace so people feel heard while they make sense of difficult emotions and choices.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to notice and work with strong emotions in the moment. It helps when emotions get in the way of being close to others or cause repeated cycles of distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history and preferences, and together they will choose or adapt methods to match what feels most helpful. This collaborative planning can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Some people also find online sessions helpful when they prefer a quieter conversation without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical choices so therapy fits into everyday life.
