Sohail Sultan, PACFA

Sohail Sultan is a PACFA clinical psychotherapist practising in Australia with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and anger. He uses straightforward, conversational language and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Sohail draws on several evidence-informed approaches to structure sessions. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try new responses. He also works with Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to explore how early relationships shape current reactions.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. Sohail will listen to what matters most to the client and then suggest exercises, experiments or ways of talking that can be practised between meetings. He often breaks down skills into simple actions that are easy to try at home or at work.

People contact him for a range of concerns beyond anger, including sleep, eating, intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting stress and career worries. He also addresses issues such as control problems, abandonment, body image and panic attacks. Sohail writes the short plans and skills people can refer to after a session.

The approach is pragmatic rather than theoretical. Expect a mix of discussion, skill-building and reflection. Sohail works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, follow the site's process to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
