About Samiyah
Samiyah Javed is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of experience and works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career matters and coping with life changes.
She uses a client-centred approach. That means sessions focus on the person rather than a prescription. Samiyah listens without judgement and supports people to talk through what matters most to them. Sessions are paced to what each person can manage.
In practice she spends time building rapport and understanding everyday routines. Conversations cover practical coping skills alongside feelings and memories. People often bring worries about body image, eating and food-related issues, fertility and postpartum depression, immigration or multicultural concerns, loneliness, or difficulties linked to family and communication.
Sessions also address self-harm, self-love, women's issues and challenges faced by young adults. Samiyah aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier. She works with the person’s goals and adjusts focus as those goals change.
Samiyah offers counselling in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom. International clients are accepted. To begin a course of sessions, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the online counselling options button.
How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The counsellor offers active listening, reflection and non-judgemental attention. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and feelings connected to trauma by making space for the client to tell their story in their own words.Samiyah works from the same principles whether sessions are remote or in-person. She will discuss how sessions are going and adapt the way she works to suit the person’s needs and goals. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process between the client and counsellor.
The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel. Others choose shorter check-ins when time is tight, or prefer audio if they do not want to use video. Registered or accredited professionals can support progress through regular remote sessions while keeping flexibility for everyday life.
