Sobia Siddique, BACP

Sobia Siddique is a BACP counsellor who offers a warm, adaptable approach to therapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and issues around intimacy and grief. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career worries, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD and the fallout from major life changes.

Sobia draws on attachment-based therapy and emotionally-focused methods alongside client-centred and existential ideas. That means sessions often centre on understanding how past relationships shape current feelings, while also making space to reflect on values and purpose. Practical coping strategies are introduced when they can help with day-to-day functioning.

She has six years of experience and is familiar with cultural and faith-related struggles, particularly within South Asian Muslim backgrounds. This lived experience informs her sensitivity to the conflicts that can arise between tradition and modern life.

Sobia is open to exploring spirituality when clients want that included in their work. She aims to bring compassion, respect and straightforward conversation to each session. Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional exploration with practical steps.

People who are nervous about starting therapy will find an approach that emphasises pacing and choice. Together with Sobia, clients shape goals and decide how therapy fits into their life and concerns.

How Sobia uses attachment and emotionally-focused work online

Sobia often draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react emotionally in certain ways and how to build more stable connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another influence; it focuses on identifying and shifting core emotions in relationships to reduce distress.

She combines these with client-centred listening that keeps the conversation grounded in the client's own values and choices. Finding the right approach is part of the journey and she works collaboratively to decide what fits best. Together they will review goals, try different ways of working, and adjust the plan based on how things are going.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some formats also suit shorter check-ins or conversations that do not require video, which can help when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed.
