Durdana Soomro
Compassionate counsellor for stress and relationships
About Durdana
Durdana Soomro works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people who are juggling stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. Durdana aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people can talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward.
She uses a blend of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than one set method for everyone.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the individual - their concerns, background and what they want to achieve. Durdana pays attention to cultural differences and how they affect relationships and self-view. In practical terms she helps people identify patterns that keep causing pain and tries simple steps to change them.
That may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, working on emotional connections, or learning skills to manage intense feelings. The focus is on what works day to day rather than jargon. Durdana encourages open conversation about goals and progress.
She tailors the pace so people feel understood while also moving toward clearer choices. Many clients find this mix of practical tools and relational attention useful when tackling personal and relationship problems. Taking the first step can feel hard and brave.
Durdana offers steady support while people explore options, build confidence and aim for more satisfying relationships and wellbeing.

How Durdana’s approaches translate online
Durdana uses approaches that aim to strengthen emotional connection and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding so people can find their own solutions and feel more confident. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replaces them with clearer, more effective actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Durdana will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family life and travel while focusing on emotional progress.
