About Sohail
Sohail Sultan is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Sohail aims to make first steps feel manageable and supports people as they work towards clearer goals and better coping.
Sohail keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. He encourages people to name what matters most, then works with them to build small, practical changes.
Background and approach
Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and behaviours using plain language rather than jargon. His approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas and acceptance work. This helps when emotions feel overwhelming, when relationships are stressful, or when patterns from the past keep repeating.
He also uses cognitive strategies to address unhelpful thinking and to manage intense moods. People come to Sohail for many concerns, including grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career choices. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, body-image worries, guilt and shame, loneliness and financial stress.
Sohail offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Online support
How emotion-focused and acceptance approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. In short sessions, the therapist helps people identify core feelings and how those feelings affect behaviour and connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions aligned with values. It suits worries, anxiety and problems that come from avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behaviour and trust, and it helps people notice and change repeating patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Over the first few sessions the plan may be adjusted so the work matches the person's needs and pace.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, journalling-style reflection or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
