Use hard engage burst supports like
or
with an ADC that goes well with it like
,
or
.
You can burst the enemy ADC faster than Soraka can save him. Soraka doesn't provide much if anything at all in terms of damage support and relies almost entirely on her ADC to dish out all of the damage. Use that weakness against them.

Use passive counter supports like
or
with an ADC that goes well with it like
or
.
The support will easily out sustain the poke from the other ADC, especially when their own ADC has the range to avoid most of it. You also get the damage and CC you need for your jungler to provide a successful gank that will lead to a kill.
Soraka is a passive support meant to allow her ADC to farm freely and punish short range, low sustain, scaling and poke champions like
,
,
,
,
,
, etc. or to punish comps that doesn't have enough sustain or burst to beat her passive gameplay.
She's also fully reliant on her ADC for everything. So if you have a match-up that gets countered by Soraka, you should play passively and go into farming mode asap to not get left behind in gold/XP.
