About Durdana

Durdana Soomro is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Durdana aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through what matters to them.

She draws on several approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at feelings and attachment patterns, and cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviours.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred principles to keep the conversation grounded in the person's own priorities. Durdana pays attention to cultural background and complex situations such as infidelity and multicultural concerns. She will work with you to agree on goals and practical steps you can try between sessions.

The focus is on small, manageable changes rather than grand plans. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels doable. Durdana listens actively, reflects what she hears, and offers tools you can use in daily life.

People often appreciate clear suggestions and the chance to practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her BACP credential signals adherence to a professional body in the UK. If you prefer to start online, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape close relationships. Online sessions use discussion and exercises to identify patterns and help people shift how they respond to strong feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonding and current attachment patterns to explain how people relate to others; this approach helps when relationship patterns feel stuck or painful.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant, try different methods, and adapt based on how you respond. Goals, comfort with techniques, and practical needs guide which approaches are used together.

Online work offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a camera feels like a barrier. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day and to reflect in writing. These options make it straightforward to continue therapy around work, travel, or family commitments.
