    About Sohail

    Sohail Sultan is a PACFA-credentialled counsellor practising in Australia with seven years of clinical experience. He aims to make the first step easier for people who are anxious or overwhelmed. Sohail creates a calm space where clients can talk about feelings and worries without judgement.

    He focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, mood problems, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Sohail pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when these come up in sessions.

    His approach blends practical methods with a collaborative style. Sohail uses techniques from Motivational Interviewing to support change, and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when they fit a person’s goals. Sessions are shaped around what each client needs rather than a fixed formula.

    People describe the work as straightforward and goal-focused. Sohail helps clients set small, manageable steps and talks through strategies they can try between sessions. He also works on communication and anger, family stress, career concerns and financial worries when these affect wellbeing.

    If someone wants to start, Sohail asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first appointment. He will discuss goals, how the work might proceed, and practical steps they can take right away.

  2. How key approaches translate to online counselling

    Sohail uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build confidence to try new behaviours. This approach is useful for areas like addictions, health habits and motivation around work or study.

    He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, chronic stress and finding life direction.

    Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationship patterns and intimacy. These conversations focus on how past and current connections shape reactions in close relationships and on practical ways to relate differently.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sohail will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

    Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break and remove the need to be on camera for every session if that helps. Because session formats are set by the therapist and platform, confirm the current options before booking so you know what is offered.
