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 works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence, offering an adaptable, person-focused approach that meets each individual where they are.

Drawing on an integrative framework, she combines humanistic and existential thinking with attachment-based ideas and practical tools from cognitive approaches, tailoring sessions to reflect each client's needs. At times the work explores meaning and identity, at times it attends to relationship patterns, and at other moments it focuses on concrete strategies to manage day-to-day difficulties. Spirituality can also be included in therapy when the client wishes to explore it.

Sobia has a particular interest in culturally and faith-informed concerns, especially for people from South Asian Muslim backgrounds, informed by her own lived experience. She offers a warm, respectful, and compassionate presence, and collaborates with clients to shape therapy in ways that feel supportive and relevant. Sobia is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Relational Emphasis

Sobia uses attachment-based, client-centered, and emotionally focused ideas to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping people understand patterns of closeness, trust, and separation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to support personal growth and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can be helpful for couples, intimacy concerns, and rebuilding connection.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sobia works collaboratively to identify what fits best based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so that therapy stays relevant and focused on meaningful change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions give an audio-first option, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of support with licensed professionals.
