About Soraya
Soraya Hind is a BACP counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She helps with parenting strain, grief, self-esteem and issues linked to identity and culture. She has particular experience with LGBT concerns, ADHD and the impact of domestic abuse and sexual assault.
Soraya works in a direct, non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable steps. She draws on a person-centred foundation that keeps the client's experience at the centre of the work.
Her background includes supporting people affected by racism and disability hate crime. She recognises the personal and intergenerational effects of prejudice and offers space to name and process those impacts. This extends to cultural identity work for people from mixed or multi-heritage backgrounds.
Soraya uses a blend of approaches to match the person's needs. Techniques can include practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy, values-based work from acceptance and commitment therapy, focused trauma work and brief solution-focused strategies. The emphasis is on collaborative decisions about what feels most useful.
She speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Soraya identifies as a disabled mixed-race mother, and she brings that lived experience into her understanding of cultural and identity concerns.
How Soraya's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; this can help with stress, worry and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing the impact of traumatic events and building coping skills to reduce distress linked to abuse or assault.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can combine techniques over time so the plan can be adjusted as progress occurs.
The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit more easily into everyday life. It can make it simpler to attend sessions around childcare, work or travel. Before booking, confirm which session formats Soraya offers so you know how appointments are arranged. Registered or accredited professionals often use online options to keep therapy consistent while people manage busy schedules.
