About Soraya
Soraya Hind is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and parenting worries. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, identity questions and issues linked to race, disability and sexual assault. Soraya writes plainly and offers practical, steady help for people who feel overwhelmed.
She brings five years of counselling experience and speaks from lived experience as a disabled, mixed-race mother. That perspective informs how she works with cultural and identity concerns without judgement.
Background and approach
She invites honest discussion about stereotypes, discrimination and the emotional impact of hate incidents. Soraya uses an integrative, person-centred foundation. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Conversations aim to increase understanding, build coping skills and help people make choices that match their values. Common approaches in her practice include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, trauma-focused methods and solution-focused tools. She blends these to suit what a person brings to a session rather than following a single rigid method.
People often come for help with parenting stress, low self-esteem, ADHD or long-term health challenges. Soraya also supports those facing domestic violence, multicultural tensions or the aftermath of sexual assault. Her style is direct, compassionate and practical, helping clients find small, workable changes.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She aims to make counselling accessible and to work alongside clients as they find constructive ways forward.

Approaches that suit online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and the stress of parenting by encouraging values-led actions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach is useful for exploring identity, cultural concerns and feelings linked to discrimination.Soraya will work collaboratively to find the right fit. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels workable. Together they may try different techniques from ACT, cognitive approaches or solution-focused ideas and adjust as needed over time.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for conversations that benefit from facial cues and a fuller exchange. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexibility, or want brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and daily life, and to access support from the United Kingdom or abroad.
