Sohail Sultan, PACFA

Sohail Sultan is an accredited Clinical Psychotherapist practising in Australia who blends clinical training with cultural awareness to support people through difficult life moments. With seven years of experience, he works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and a wide range of other concerns including family and parenting challenges, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and mood-related issues such as bipolar. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger and self-esteem, career concerns and the many relational patterns that arise from attachment and abandonment wounds.

Sohail aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can openly explore thoughts and emotions and begin to build practical coping strategies. He draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs, meeting people where they are and helping them move toward a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Sohail offers steady professional support to guide clients through that process. He holds PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) accreditation and offers care in English for people located in Australia.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Sohail commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and learn practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships, helping clients address issues like abandonment, communication problems and intimacy-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach in his toolkit, focusing on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to manage mood, panic symptoms and worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Sohail collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences and life context, and may involve discussion with appropriately qualified or registered professionals when needed. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose how they connect. These online options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments, and allow continuity of care when in-person sessions are not practical.
