About Sohail
Sohail Sultan is a PACFA clinical psychotherapist practising in Australia with seven years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also works with concerns such as grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and bipolar mood conditions.
Sohail frames sessions so people can speak about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. He listens for patterns in relationships and attachment, and helps name emotions that are hard to put into words. Conversations are practical and direct, with a focus on what feels most pressing for the person in front of him.
He draws on approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Those methods are used to look at how thoughts, behaviours and emotions interact, and to try new ways of responding to old patterns.
Sohail pays attention to cultural context and how it shapes stress, roles and expectations. He helps people work through issues like abandonment, communication problems, control struggles, guilt, shame and isolation. He also supports clients with practical life concerns such as money, career direction and purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English. Sohail does not take international clients. If someone wants to begin, they can follow the service's matching and booking steps to arrange a first appointment.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and on how those emotions shape close relationships. It is often used when people want to understand repeated relationship patterns or attachment-related responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current trust, closeness and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sohail will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which one fits the person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefit of online therapy is that sessions can fit into a busy week and reduce travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online appointments can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, arrange sessions around work commitments, or avoid needing to travel to an office. Appropriately qualified therapists will help adapt exercises and conversations so they work well in the chosen session format.
