About Sohail

Sohail Sultan is a PACFA accredited clinical psychotherapist practising in Australia with seven years' experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and other mood concerns. Sohail offers straightforward, practical support for those finding social situations or everyday interactions hard to manage.

He uses several well-known approaches in the room, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. Sessions focus on clear strategies and real-life steps rather than abstract theory. Sohail aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding to them.

His style is collaborative and person-focused. He encourages honest conversation about feelings, thoughts and behaviour. That includes working on panic symptoms, shame, isolation and communication problems connected to relationships and social anxiety.

Sohail also addresses practical life pressures such as work stress, financial worries and caregiver strain. He helps people unpack issues like body image, intimacy challenges and grief in manageable ways. There is attention to how early attachment and abandonment concerns can affect current relationships.

Many clients work on improving sleep, reducing anger or managing addictive behaviours. Sessions support goal-setting and learning new coping skills. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used to match needs and plan the first appointment.

How Sohail uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and committing to actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, panic and values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce avoidance. That approach is commonly used for anxiety and panic symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections and communication, which can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sohail will discuss these options with each person and make choices together based on goals, preferences and what seems to help. That collaborative process means changes are paced and adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people join from quieter surroundings or use audio-only if that suits them better. Clinicians and appropriately qualified therapists can help decide which setup will work best for practical needs and session goals.
