Soraya Hind
Supportive counsellor for trauma and identity issues
About Soraya
Soraya Hind helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She supports those coping with life changes, grief, parenting worries, low self-esteem and ADHD. She also addresses issues linked to LGBT concerns, family tensions, and the effects of abuse.
Soraya works in English and practices from the United Kingdom. Soraya brings five years of counselling experience and works from a person-centred foundation. She describes her approach as collaborative and down-to-earth.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small steps that feel achievable. She offers practical strategies alongside space to process painful experiences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want to live by their values even when emotions are hard. Soraya is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That membership indicates a professional affiliation with counselling standards in the UK.
She also draws on trauma-focused and solution-focused ideas when needed. As a disabled mixed-race mother, Soraya brings personal insight into cultural identity, racism, and disability-related hurt. She offers a non-judgemental space to talk about race-related harm, hate incidents and their emotional effects.
The aim is to explore those experiences, reduce shame, and work toward practical change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small committed steps towards them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that make problems worse. It uses practical experiments and exercises to test new ways of coping, often helping with stress, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, quick reflections or when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while still accessing registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
