About Sobia
Sobia Siddique is a counsellor who blends relational and practical work to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Urdu and brings six years of experience to sessions. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood.
Sobia often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotional patterns. She also uses emotionally focused work to help people notice and change interaction cycles that leave them feeling stuck.
Background and approach
When helpful, she brings client-centred listening and motivational techniques to build clarity and momentum. Sessions can include grounded conversations about values, identity and faith when clients wish to explore those areas. Practical coping strategies are also used to ease everyday pressure and improve day-to-day functioning.
The work adapts to what is most useful in the moment. Sobia has particular interest in parenting concerns and relationship challenges, and she supports people with grief, intimacy issues, anger and career stress. She also helps clients navigate trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges and the stress of caregiving or chronic illness.
People from South Asian Muslim backgrounds may find Sobia helpful when cultural or faith questions are part of the struggle. She aims to offer a respectful space where cultural context is understood and explored alongside emotional and practical needs.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Sobia commonly uses attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches alongside client-centred listening. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions, helping people notice patterns that repeat in close relationships. Emotionally focused therapy focuses on emotional experience and interaction cycles to help people change how they relate and feel safer in relationships. Client-centred work means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client, with the therapist offering empathy and clear reflection.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sobia will discuss different approaches with clients and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can be used for deeper conversations and a sense of face-to-face connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer short, flexible contact for people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy around a busy schedule. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
