About Durdana
BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience working with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Durdana Soomro focuses on practical, conversational therapy that helps clients name what feels hard and work out next steps.
She uses a range of methods to suit different needs, including attachment-based approaches, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas and emotionally-focused methods. Sessions tend to involve talking through patterns, noticing feelings and trying small changes between meetings.
Durdana pays attention to issues that often come up alongside relationship strain, such as self-esteem, low motivation and grief. She also works with people navigating infidelity and multicultural concerns. The aim is to untangle what’s happening now and build manageable coping strategies.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She will listen, reflect what she’s hearing and offer practical tools when they fit. People can expect conversations that move between exploring feelings and trying specific ways to cope.
To begin, clients are invited to complete an initial matching process and arrange a first session. That first meeting is used to clarify priorities and agree how to proceed. Over time sessions focus on what a person wants to change, and on small steps that can make daily life easier.

How core approaches shape remote work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. In practice this means noticing how people seek closeness or pull away, and using that understanding to change repetitive cycles that cause distress. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and timing. The therapist listens closely and mirrors what she hears so clients can find their own solutions and clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses small experiments and practical exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful habits. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques are made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or before/after work. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients adapt exercises for remote sessions, such as doing short mindfulness practices, homework tasks or focused check-ins that suit a client’s routine.Sheet 3
