About Soraya
Soraya Hind is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. She draws on her own life experience as a disabled, mixed-race mother to relate to cultural and identity concerns. Her work is down-to-earth and straightforward, aimed at people who need practical support right now.
She focuses on the impact of racism, hate crime and disability-based harm, and offers space to talk through how those experiences affect daily life.
Background and approach
Soraya listens without judgement and helps people name the messages they absorbed about themselves. That makes it easier to decide what to keep and what to change. Soraya uses a person-centred approach at her core.
She combines that with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people manage painful thoughts and take small, meaningful steps. Solution-focused tools are used to set clear goals and build hope. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.
People can expect to explore identity, culture, grief, parenting stress, chronic illness, or the impact of sexual assault and domestic violence. The emphasis is on practical coping strategies and on building resilience over time. Based in the United Kingdom, Soraya is registered with the BACP, has five years of practice experience, and works with clients from diverse backgrounds.
She welcomes conversations about cultural pressures and self-esteem, and she supports people in making clear, realistic plans for change.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then they will agree a plan that may blend ACT, CBT and person-centred listening so that sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online sessions can be run by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit around work, childcare or mobility needs. Video sessions let you use visual cues and deeper dialogue, phone calls can be easier with lower bandwidth, and messaging options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. This flexibility makes it simpler to keep momentum while working towards clear, practical changes.
