Soban Amir, BACP

Soban uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred principles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people recognise and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce day-to-day distress and improve coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking small, meaningful steps even when difficult feelings remain, which can help with ongoing worry and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work and aims to build a trusting, non-judgemental relationship.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life demands, then try methods that fit. If something does not feel right, he will adjust the style or try a different way of working together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or reflective work possible without scheduling a longer call. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to maintain continuity when circumstances change.
