About Soban
Soban Amir is a counsellor with five years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. He works with clients who are facing relationship strain, career pressure, addiction concerns or questions about identity and intimacy. Soban speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and practices from the United Kingdom.
He holds BACP accreditation, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Soban prefers a straightforward style in sessions.
Background and approach
He aims to create a calm space where people can say what they find hard to say. Sessions focus on small, practical steps alongside listening that helps make sense of difficult feelings. He tailors work to each person rather than using a single fixed method.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred ideas. That can look like noticing difficult thoughts, testing them against experience, and choosing actions that match what matters to the client. Solution-Focused ideas are used to spot strengths and build on what is already working.
Soban often helps people with parenting stress, blended family issues, communication problems and family of origin concerns. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and body image difficulties. Work can include coaching-style conversations for career direction as well as support with intimacy-related issues and LGBT concerns.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can be supported. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are arranged from there.

Online support
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build different ways of coping, often useful for anxiety, depression and some relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Soban will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel commitments and make it possible to continue therapy from other locations.
