About Durdana
Durdana Soomro is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has nine years of experience supporting people who struggle with stress and anxiety. She helps clients facing low self-esteem, depression, grief, and motivation issues.
She also addresses intimacy and relationship concerns as well as infidelity and multicultural matters. Durdana keeps conversations respectful and sensitive. She adapts sessions to each person's situation and priorities.
That means practical conversations, straight talk, and pace set by the client.
Background and approach
She aims to make therapy a space where people can work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred principles that place the person's experience at the centre of the process.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods are used when people want concrete tools for managing worry and unhelpful thoughts. In sessions she focuses on skills you can use between meetings, alongside exploring deeper emotional patterns. She balances practical techniques with time to understand what matters most to each person.
The aim is to help people feel more able to manage stress and improve close relationships. People can expect a collaborative approach to planning therapy. Durdana explains options and works with clients to set achievable steps.
That way progress is measured in everyday life, not just in the therapy room.
How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others now. It can be useful for people who want to change repeating relationship patterns or feel more supported in close connections. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which many people use to manage anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face when that helps progress. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
