About Sobia

Sobia Gohar is an ACA counsellor who helps people worrying about anxiety, stress, depression and relationship strain. She works with those facing trauma, grief, addictions and major life changes. She aims to make therapy practical and easy to follow for people juggling busy lives.

Sobia offers a calm, structured approach that balances listening with clear direction. She uses person-centred work to make clients feel understood and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build coping skills. The focus is on emotional regulation, improving communication and slowly changing unhelpful habits.

Sessions cover a wide range of concerns from low self-esteem and sleep problems to anger and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image worries, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. Therapy plans are shaped around each person’s goals and pace.

Sobia brings seven years of clinical experience in Australia to her work. Her background includes supporting people through trauma-informed pathways and helping them develop practical tools they can use after sessions finish. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She speaks English and Urdu and works to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to begin working on the changes they seek.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sobia commonly uses person-centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping someone name what matters most to them; it helps with feeling heard and building self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which techniques to try first. This collaborative planning means methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Appropriately qualified therapists can still use the same exercises, homework and conversational interventions online as they would in person, helping people apply new skills to everyday life.
