About Soraya
Soraya Hind supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and major life changes. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting pressures, ADHD, LGBT concerns and family matters. Her practice takes account of cultural and identity issues and the impact of racism and disability hate crimes on mental health.
Soraya works in a direct and compassionate way. She offers a calm space to talk and helps people make sense of what they are going through.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change. She aims to be non-judgemental and empowering. Her lived experience as a disabled mixed-race mother informs her sensitivity to multicultural and identity-related concerns.
That background shapes how she approaches issues such as internalised stereotypes and the psychological effects of discrimination. She is comfortable talking about race and disability as part of therapy. Soraya uses a mix of approaches to suit each person.
She draws on client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive and acceptance-focused therapies. When trauma or acute distress is present she includes trauma-focused work and brief solution-focused strategies to help with immediate coping. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has five years of professional experience.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical benefits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy centres on genuine listening and empathy so the person can lead the pace and focus of sessions; it helps people feel heard and understood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they may try a couple of methods and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow for shorter check-ins and written reflection over time. These options make it easier to keep appointments, manage energy levels and fit therapy into a busy life.
