Soraya Hind , BACP

Soraya Hind is a qualified counsellor who believes that counselling should be accessible to everyone. She brings five years of experience supporting people through a wide range of complex issues, including depression, domestic abuse, and the mental health impacts of racism and disability-related hate. As a disabled mixed race mother, she draws on personal insight alongside professional training to offer empathetic, informed support.

Soraya pays close attention to how racism and disability discrimination affect people at personal, social, and intergenerational levels. She helps clients explore both external stereotypes and internalised beliefs, and she supports practical and emotional recovery after hate incidents, including the often-overlooked effects on mental wellbeing. Her approach aims to empower clients to address trauma and to rebuild a stronger sense of self.

Working in a non-judgmental and collaborative way, Soraya uses an integrative method grounded in person-centred practice. She invites clients to reflect on cultural influences and life experiences to develop clearer understanding and meaningful change. Soraya also holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that feel stuck.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-judgmental space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration, identity work, and rebuilding confidence after relational or cultural wounds.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences while building coping skills to reduce their hold on day-to-day life. It can be particularly helpful for those affected by abuse, hate incidents, and other forms of psychological injury.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Soraya collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Soraya is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules, mobility needs, and time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor sessions to individual circumstances.
