Sobia Gohar, ACA

Sobia Gohar is a Level 3 M.A.C.A registered counsellor with ACA and seven years of experience delivering structured, trauma-informed therapy for people facing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She combines clear therapeutic direction with collaborative work, balancing compassionate listening with practical strategies to help clients regulate emotions and build more resilient relationships.

Her practice blends person-centred therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), offering a space where clients are heard while also learning concrete tools to manage distressing thoughts and patterns of behaviour. Sobia values depth, consistency and measurable progress, supporting clients to better understand recurring patterns, process difficult experiences and make lasting changes.

Clients receive targeted support for issues such as stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and intimacy-related concerns, as well as ongoing struggles with sleep, anger, self-esteem and coping with life transitions. She also works with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control issues, and family-related problems. Sobia provides professional, person-focused care aimed at helping people move from survival to sustained wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Sobia works primarily with person-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Person-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship that helps individuals explore feelings and build self-awareness, which can be particularly helpful for attachment concerns, grief and issues of self-esteem. CBT is a structured, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sobia takes a collaborative approach with clients and will work alongside them to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. Approaches are chosen to be practical and applicable to daily life.

Online therapy with Sobia is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility considerations. These options make it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from home or other convenient locations, allowing therapy to fit around real-life schedules and commitments.
