Durdana Soomro, BACP

Durdana Soomro is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, depression, grief, and issues related to infidelity and multicultural contexts. Durdana approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a calm space where clients can explore what matters most to them.

She individualises conversation and treatment plans to match each client's unique circumstances and goals, drawing on therapeutic methods that are suited to the situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Durdana encourages and supports the often-difficult first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life, offering steady guidance as clients work toward change. Her BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflects professional registration in the UK and a commitment to ongoing development and ethical practice.

Clients can expect a collaborative, tailored approach that prioritises understanding and practical progress, whether the focus is managing anxiety, repairing relationships, rebuilding confidence, or coping with loss.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and interpersonal needs. It can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or repeating relationship difficulties to understand underlying patterns and form more secure connections.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work, emphasising empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth. It is useful for strengthening self-esteem, building confidence, and creating a supportive space for exploring personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms and developing healthier coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Durdana will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These options help maintain continuity of support and allow registered professionals and therapists to tailor interactions to what feels most comfortable and effective for the client.
