About Soban

Soban Amir is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. He works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or relationship strain. Soban offers a calm space to talk through what matters and to look at small practical changes that can help day to day.

He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work to tailor sessions to each person.

Background and approach

That means sessions can focus on thoughts and behaviours, values and what matters to you, or simply listening and reflecting to help you feel understood. With five years of practice, Soban has supported people facing issues like work pressure, parenting strain, identity and intimacy concerns, and problems linked to family of origin.

He also helps people with addictions, career decisions and body image worries. He works in English, Hindi and Urdu and engages with people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Soban describes his space as anti-discriminatory and welcoming to diverse identities.

He uses practical conversations and short exercises when helpful, and keeps sessions paced to the client’s needs. Therapy is collaborative and aims to help people decide what they want to change and how to get there. People interested in online or remote sessions can expect a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

The focus is on clear next steps, manageable goals and building skills that fit daily life.

Ways of working Soban names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Soban uses therapy methods online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions that matter to you, helping with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to break unhelpful patterns and build new habits. Client-Centred Therapy offers an empathic, listening-led approach that helps people feel heard and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Soban will discuss different ways of working with you and choose methods together based on your goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you make progress or your needs shift.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter reflections, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel and to continue when in different locations.
