Soraya Hind, BACP

Soraya Hind is a qualified counsellor who believes that counselling should be accessible to everyone. She has worked with people facing a wide range of complex difficulties, from depression to domestic abuse, and she brings both professional training and lived experience to her practice.

As a disabled mixed-race mother, she speaks from firsthand experience about the layered effects of identity, culture, and discrimination. Soraya recognises that racism and disability hate crime can leave deep psychological and intergenerational impacts, and she pays careful attention to the ways those experiences affect mental health beyond immediate safety or legal concerns.

She supports clients in exploring race-related issues, including stereotypes imposed by others and those that may have been internalised over time. Soraya offers a space to examine the various forms of trauma connected to hate incidents and works in a non-judgmental, empowering way to help people address those harms and move toward the changes they want to make.

Soraya creates opportunities for clients to reflect on cultural influences and the complexities of identity. Her counselling approach is integrative with a person-centred foundation, aiming to understand each person’s unique story and to provide empathic support that promotes resilience and personal agency. Her listed credential is BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
