About Sobia
Sobia Siddique is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ways of working to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She blends humanistic and existential ideas to tailor sessions around each person's needs. Sobia speaks English and Urdu and draws on six years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments.
Clients can expect sessions that look at relationships and patterns that keep causing pain. She pays attention to how early attachments shape current connections and emotional reactions.
Background and approach
Conversations might include exploring meaning and identity, or identifying practical steps to ease daily pressures. Sobia also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, grief and compassion fatigue. She has a particular understanding of cultural and faith-based struggles for people from South Asian Muslim backgrounds, based on her own lived experience.
This informs how she approaches tradition, belonging and expectation in sessions. Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and try new ways of handling problems.
Spiritual questions can be part of therapy when requested by the person. Therapy with Sobia is collaborative. She works with each person to choose approaches that suit their goals, whether that means reflecting on relationships, working through painful memories, or using simple day-to-day coping strategies.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods together. This collaborative planning means sessions can shift between exploring meaning, working on emotions, or using practical coping steps as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different routines, time zones and communication styles.
