About Durdana
Durdana Soomro works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has nine years of experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She focuses on easing stress and anxiety and on improving self-esteem and motivation.
She helps people who are dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with depression and grief. Additional areas include concerns around infidelity and multicultural matters.
Background and approach
Durdana adapts conversations and plans to each person she sees. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what feels practical and useful for the individual.
Her approach combines several methods to match what a person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotion-focused work is used when feelings need clearer attention.
She encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time. Work in sessions often includes talking things through, trying different ways to respond, and practising skills between meetings. The overall aim is to help people feel more confident, connected and in control of day-to-day life.

How Durdana works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative search - adjustments can be made as work progresses to keep the focus useful for you.
Please confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins that suit a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to involve different kinds of exercises between sessions, such as worksheets, mood tracking or breathing practices you can use in everyday moments.
