Sohail Sultan

Sohail Sultan is a PACFA clinical psychotherapist practising in Australia with seven years of experience. He draws on clinical and cultural knowledge to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Sohail aims to make the first step less daunting and offers steady support through that early stage.

He builds a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Conversations focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of him. Practical strategies and simple exercises are used when they suit the client’s goals.

Sohail blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural work and acceptance and commitment ideas with attachment-focused conversations. He also uses person-centred techniques to keep therapy grounded in the client’s priorities. Sessions look at patterns that keep people stuck and practical ways to change them.

He works with concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and mood disorders. Additional areas Sohail pays attention to are attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control issues.

Sohail aims for clear, short-term goals alongside deeper work where needed. He encourages people to set realistic steps between sessions and reviews progress regularly. Anyone interested is invited to take the Start Therapy pathway to see if his way of working feels like a good fit.

Approaches that translate to online work

Sohail often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can help with anxiety, panic and mood problems. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early attachment can affect current connections, useful for intimacy and abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will help people try different methods and decide what fits their needs and goals. Clients and therapist set goals together and review what helps most as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also let someone use lower-bandwidth options if connectivity is limited. Ask about the available formats when you start so sessions can be planned around everyday life.
