About Durdana

Durdana Soomro is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, infidelity and multicultural issues.

Durdana aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps that can make a difference day to day.

Background and approach

Durdana adapts her approach to match each person’s needs instead of using a set template. Her background includes approaches that look at emotions, patterns in relationships and the thoughts that influence behaviour. This mix helps when someone wants to understand difficult feelings, manage strong reactions or rebuild connection with a partner.

Durdana draws on these ideas to create clear, manageable goals with the person she is seeing. People meet her for short-term focused work and longer, exploratory therapy. She will listen, ask practical questions and suggest tasks to try between sessions when useful.

The aim is to build coping skills and clearer thinking while also making space to process loss and painful experiences. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside and outside the UK. Durdana uses a collaborative style and encourages people to shape the pace and direction of their work together.

Approaches that shape online sessions and what they do

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships affect feelings and behaviour. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated patterns in relationships to notice those patterns and try different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and pacing. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental listening so the client can find their own answers and build confidence in making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and immediate problems by teaching skills to change thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Durdana will discuss different methods and decide with each person which best fits their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and deeper conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when someone needs shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
