Soban Amir, BACP

Soban Amir offers compassionate support for people who feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, or a widening sense of disconnection. He recognizes how common it is to carry difficult emotions alone - believing one should manage everything independently or not even knowing how to begin talking about what is happening. Pressures from work, relationships, or cultural and personal expectations can make everyday life feel overwhelming, and sometimes a clear moment arrives when change is needed.

As a fully qualified psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he provides a welcoming space where people can explore their challenges at a comfortable pace. He uses an integrative approach and adapts therapeutic methods to match each person’s individual needs rather than applying a single model to everyone.

He is committed to an anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice that welcomes and respects people regardless of background, identity, or life experience. Valuing the therapeutic relationship, he aims to create an environment in which a person can feel truly seen and understood, and he works collaboratively with clients to begin their journey toward clearer direction and relief.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action. It can be useful for those struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience is central and the therapist follows the client’s lead - this approach supports people seeking understanding, self-exploration, and emotional validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and practical problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Soban works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts interventions as the work unfolds. Registered professionals often blend techniques to suit each person rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from a distance, and fit therapy into busy lives.
