About Sohail
Sohail Sultan is a clinician based in Australia with seven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. He holds PACFA as a credential and aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Sohail creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful experiences. He focuses on making conversations direct and simple. Sessions are paced to match what each person needs, whether that means short practical steps or deeper exploration.
He often works with people facing grief, trauma and depression, as well as concerns about sleep and eating. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger and life transitions such as divorce or career change. Sohail pays attention to patterns like attachment or abandonment worries that affect how people relate to others.
In sessions he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. He uses straightforward exercises and between-session tasks when these suit the person. The focus is on small, achievable changes that feel relevant to daily life.
Sohail aims to be practical and compassionate. He encourages questions and keeps treatment goals clear. People who want a calm, culturally aware counsellor who explains things plainly may find his style helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them; it focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns from early life and teaches ways to change how someone relates to others and manages closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sohail will discuss different methods and help choose what fits the person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is made together and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
If you are considering online therapy with Sohail, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let therapists use worksheets, screen-shared exercises and guided breathing practices during the session to support sleep and stress-reduction goals.
