About Soraya
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and parenting concerns. Soraya Hind also focuses on LGBT issues, self-esteem and ADHD, and works with additional areas such as autism, chronic illness, domestic violence and sexual assault. She describes her approach as integrative with a person-centred foundation.
Soraya draws on a mix of methods to help people manage difficult feelings and practical problems. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas alongside trauma-focused work. Sessions centre on what is most useful to the individual and on small, manageable steps forward.
Having lived experience as a disabled mixed-race mother, she pays attention to cultural identity, racism and disability hate crime and how these affect mental health. She offers space to name stereotypes people carry and to work through the emotional impact of discriminatory incidents. Her writing and practice emphasise attention to social and intergenerational effects of racism.
Practical concerns such as coping with life changes, chronic pain or long-term illness are addressed with everyday strategies and planning. When trauma has occurred, Soraya uses focused trauma approaches alongside stabilising skills to help reduce distress and increase safety in daily life.
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at clarifying priorities, reducing overwhelming symptoms and building workable routines. People can expect straightforward conversation, exercises they can try between sessions, and review of progress as work continues.

How her approaches work for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the specific impact of traumatic events, combining stabilising techniques with focused processing when the person is ready.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a plan together. That plan can include short practical exercises, breathing or grounding techniques, and steps to practise between sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. They can also allow sessions without being on camera if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt methods so that remote sessions focus on the same practical goals as face-to-face work, such as symptom reduction, routine building and clearer next steps.
