I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression.
I also support people with cultural and religious difficulties, especially those coming from a south Asian Muslim background, like myself. This is an area that people seem to have the least support in, especially when adapting in today's modern society.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sobia Siddique. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Sobia is the first therapist to listen to me deeply- not just addressing my current anxieties and concerns, but trying to uncover what else is going on and has happened in my life up to this point. I have benefited from each session by her intuitive questions, empathy, and expertise. I feel so grateful to have been matched with her! Thank you!

In my time having therapy with Sonia, she has been a great help. She always gives me the space to talk, whilst still helping me to realise things that maybe I hadn’t thought of. Her patience is always appreciated, and she is always kind. She is positive without being too over the top positive, and she is also fair.

I’m very happy with how things are progressing. Sobia has been the perfect. Voice for me.

Sobia doesn’t ask unnecessary questions, nor does she make any judgements. She actively hears my concerns and is direct with me (which is what I need). There is no condescension nor ‘knowing all’ or arrogance.

I found my sessions with Sobia really helpful because I found a space that I could have to rant and to also work through some of the emotional issues I was having. I would highly recommend Sobia for anyone with special educational needs as he really understands how this can effect a therapy session Thankyou so much Sobia
