About Sobia
Sobia Gohar is an ACA counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and the fallout from difficult relationships. She writes short, practical steps people can use between sessions and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
She offers a structured, trauma-informed approach that balances clear direction with collaborative conversation. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and improving sleep and daily routines when sleep is a concern. The work is goal‑oriented but paced to suit each person's needs.
With seven years' experience, Sobia blends person-centred practice with cognitive behaviour techniques. That means clients are heard first, and then practical tools are introduced to change thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause distress. She emphasises consistent, small changes that add up over time.
People come to her for help with grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy issues and the stress of life transitions. She also supports those coping with attachment, abandonment and body image concerns. Sessions are intended to help people feel steadier and more able to manage everyday pressures.
Sobia works in Australia and offers sessions in English and Urdu. Her approach is straightforward and down to earth, aimed at helping people sleep better, reduce overwhelm and build long-term coping skills.
Practical approaches for better sleep and emotional balance
Person-centred work focuses on listening and making space for your experience. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters most to them before any practical steps are suggested.Cognitive behaviour techniques teach simple, everyday strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. These techniques are often used to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep routines by identifying triggers and creating step-by-step plans.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel right, adjust goals over time, and combine approaches to match the client’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, as they can reduce travel time and let therapy slot into work breaks or family routines. Others prefer shorter check-ins when juggling caregiving or shift work. Discussing practical arrangements during the initial match helps make sessions realistic and useful for everyday life.
