About Sobia
Sobia Gohar is an ACA counsellor with seven years' experience working in Australia. She sees people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain and major life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, sleep problems and stress-related difficulties.
Sobia uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She combines person-centred principles with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and learn practical skills. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, emotional regulation and small steps that change day-to-day behaviour.

She has experience with attachment concerns, abandonment issues and avoidant personality patterns. Additional areas she addresses include body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and challenges after separation or divorce.
Sobia also supports people with ADHD-related difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Her practice is practical and consistent, with an emphasis on measurable progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Sobia combines person-centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify their concerns. It is useful when someone needs time to make sense of feelings or decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety and changing unhelpful habits.These two approaches are used together so the work includes both understanding and skills practice. Finding the right approach is part of the process; she will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps set realistic steps and clear targets for progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into weekly life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family commitments while still working with an appropriately qualified counsellor.
