Sobia Gohar, ACA

Sobia Gohar is an ACA counsellor who helps people juggling stress, grief, anxiety and relationship strain. She speaks English and Urdu and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. Her manner is collaborative with clear direction so conversations lead to practical next steps.

She draws on person-centred ideas to make people feel heard and on cognitive behavioural techniques to build new habits. Sessions focus on managing emotions, improving communication, and reducing unhelpful thinking patterns. The work is practical and paced to the person's needs.

Her seven years of experience include supporting people through complex trauma, depression, addiction concerns and major life changes. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and issues with control or dependence. Parenting stress and caregiver strain are also common topics in her practice.

Clients can expect a steady, consistent approach that combines talking through experiences with skill-building exercises. Therapy aims to help with sleep, intimacy issues, self-esteem, anger and coping with change. Progress is measured by clearer thinking, calmer reactions and better day-to-day functioning.

Based in Australia, she works with adults who want a structured, trauma-informed process to make lasting changes. People wanting to begin are encouraged to consider whether this practical, collaborative style feels like the right fit before starting.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Her practice blends person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and building a strong therapeutic relationship so people feel understood and more able to reflect on patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and practising small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.

Finding the right fit is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose which approach or combination will best meet their goals and preferences. That may mean more skill-building work for practical change or deeper, reflective conversations to address attachment and loss.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports people who want consistency across weeks without rearranging their whole schedule.
