About Sobia
Sobia Gohar is an M.A.C.A Level 3 ACA counsellor with seven years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people coping with parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem difficulties and life changes.
Sobia uses a structured, trauma-informed approach. She combines person-centred therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to offer clear therapeutic direction alongside listening. Sessions focus on practical skills for emotional regulation and improved communication rather than abstract theory.
People who come to her are invited to identify recurring patterns and to try concrete strategies between sessions. She supports work on attachment and abandonment issues, commitment and control problems, and situations involving family problems, divorce and separation. She also addresses domestic violence and trauma-related concerns with a measured approach.
Sobia pays attention to consistency and measurable progress. She explains techniques in everyday language and checks in about how tools are working for each person. Her style aims to balance depth with practical steps so clients can build longer-term resilience.
Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online booking process.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Her core methods include person-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Person-centred therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and reflecting it back so they can make clearer choices. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches skills to manage anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.She also practises trauma-informed techniques that recognise how past harm can affect feelings and relationships. These approaches support work on attachment, grief, domestic violence and recovery from complex trauma by combining stabilising strategies with gradual processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the kinds of tools that fit everyday life, and help decide which methods to prioritise. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress happens.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking.
