About Sobia
Sobia Gohar is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She offers clear guidance while listening to what matters to each person. Her style aims to help people feel understood and to build everyday skills they can use after sessions.
Sobia uses person-centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to keep conversations practical. She focuses on emotional regulation, improving communication, and breaking unhelpful patterns. Sessions tend to combine moments of listening with straightforward tools and exercises to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, addictive behaviours, anger, and self-esteem struggles. There is attention to attachment-related issues, abandonment fears and difficulty committing or trusting again.
Clients often come for help with life changes, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, or the fallout from separation and domestic violence. Sobia also offers support around body image, shame, guilt, and feelings of emptiness. Her aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
She has seven years of experience working in Australia and speaks English and Urdu. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Sobia’s practice draws on person-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to make online sessions practical and focused. Person-centred work emphasises listening and understanding the person’s experience, which helps build trust and direction in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses simple exercises to change them, which can be practised between video or phone appointments.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. If one technique does not suit, adjustments are made so the plan better matches what the person finds helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy days or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth or when a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit sessions into ordinary routines.
