Durdana Soomro, BACP

Durdana Soomro is a UK-licensed therapist with seven years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She works with people managing stress and anxiety, navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, and seeking greater motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

She brings a respectful, sensitive and compassionate stance to each conversation, taking time to listen and understand the individual circumstances that shape a person’s experience. Rather than applying a fixed formula, Durdana tailors dialogue and treatment plans to match each client’s unique needs and goals.

Recognising that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, she aims to offer steady support and practical guidance throughout the process, helping clients explore change at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and how early relational experiences shape current emotional responses and relationship dynamics. It can help people who struggle with intimacy, repeated relationship difficulties, or strong reactions in close connections.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance that supports a person’s own goals and self-discovery. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving motivation, and restoring confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve mood and daily functioning. It offers practical tools that clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling, easier access for people in different locations and options that fit varied comfort levels. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and travel commitments.
