Sobia Siddique , BACP

Sobia Siddique is a UK-licensed therapist with over six years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem and confidence.

Sobia has a particular interest in cultural and faith-based struggles, drawing on her own lived experience from a South Asian Muslim background to offer informed, sensitive support. She recognises how balancing tradition with contemporary pressures can leave people feeling isolated or unsure where to turn, and she aims to provide a space where those specific tensions can be explored and understood.

Her practice is integrative, blending humanistic, existential, attachment-based, and cognitive-behavioural ideas so that therapy is shaped to the individual. This means sessions may move between exploring meaning and identity, examining relationship patterns and attachment, and introducing practical tools to ease day-to-day difficulties. Spirituality is available as a topic of exploration when it feels relevant and helpful to the therapeutic work.

Approaching every person with warmth, respect, and compassion, Sobia meets people where they are and collaborates to create a therapeutic path that feels right. She frames therapy as a shared journey aimed at helping individuals find greater balance, resilience, and a clearer sense of self, and she is honoured to support people through that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and mistrust. It helps people understand issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and challenges with intimacy by tracing how past relational experiences influence present interactions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive stance that prioritises the client's perspective and pace. This approach supports self-exploration and helps with concerns like low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes by creating a space for people to find their own solutions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift the emotional responses that drive relationship conflict and disconnection. It is useful for couples and individuals aiming to improve communication, deepen emotional bonds, and navigate relationship distress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Sobia works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will explore methods and adjust the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family, and life commitments. For people living abroad or with limited local options, these remote formats increase accessibility and make consistent therapeutic contact more achievable.
