About Soraya Hind

Soraya Hind is a qualified counsellor who believes counselling should be accessible to everyone. She brings five years of experience supporting people through a wide range of complex issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse. As a disabled, mixed-race mother, Soraya speaks from lived experience about the challenges of negotiating identity, culture, and the effects of discrimination.

She has particular experience working with clients affected by racism and disability-related hate crime, and recognises that the immediate focus after an incident is often physical safety or legal action while the emotional impact receives less attention. Soraya supports clients to explore how racism and discrimination affect them personally, socially, and across generations, and to identify internalised stereotypes that may shape thoughts and behaviour. She offers a calm, non-judgmental, and empowering space to process trauma linked to hate crimes and other forms of abuse.

Soraya works from an integrative framework with a person-centred foundation, enabling her to tailor the therapeutic approach to each client. She invites reflection on cultural influences and psychological patterns taken on consciously or unconsciously throughout life, with the aim of helping clients build understanding and bring about the changes they want. She holds BACP membership, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify what matters to them and to take committed action in line with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by reducing avoidance and increasing psychological flexibility.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering an empathic, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client is seen as the expert on their own life. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and recovery from trauma by prioritising understanding, acceptance, and the client’s pace of change.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides tools to process and reduce the ongoing emotional impact of traumatic experiences, helping people develop coping strategies and rebuild a sense of safety and agency. It is particularly relevant for those affected by abuse, hate crime, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Soraya works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on these methods as appropriate and adapts them to each individual.

Online therapy with Soraya is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for different schedules and situations. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or while travelling, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes.
