About Soraya

Soraya Hind is a BACP counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes. She also helps with grief, self-esteem, parenting worries, LGBT issues and ADHD. Soraya draws on personal experience as a disabled mixed race woman and parent to inform a compassionate, non-judgemental approach.

She offers straightforward, practical conversations. Therapy sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Soraya listens, reflects, and helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Her work attends to cultural and identity concerns, including the mental health impact of racism and disability hate crime. She invites clients to name stereotypes and patterns that affect wellbeing and then looks at ways to reduce their impact. This often means examining personal stories and everyday reactions, and finding new responses that feel more manageable.

Soraya uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening and brief, goal-focused strategies. Cognitive and acceptance-based techniques are used when they suit the goals of the work.

People who meet Soraya can expect an empathic tone and practical focus. Sessions aim to empower rather than rescue, helping people build tools for everyday life. She works with multicultural concerns, domestic violence, sexual assault and chronic illness as part of a wide practice.

Based in the United Kingdom, Soraya draws on five years of experience and her BACP membership as part of her professional identity. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Soraya combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a client-centred attitude. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the emotional and practical effects of past harm and aims to reduce the day-to-day impact of traumatic memories and reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then commit to actions that matter to them. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting the person where they are, so sessions follow the client’s priorities.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Soraya will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest ways of working that suit the person’s needs. This may mean blending trauma-focused methods with acceptance-based strategies and practical cognitive tools, and reviewing what helps as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and life demands, and help people fit work, family or care responsibilities around sessions.
