About Sepideh
Counsellor and member of BACP, Sepideh Cheraghi has four years of documented UK counselling experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, anger and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and Persian.
Sepideh uses a psychodynamic approach. She helps clients notice patterns that repeat in their relationships and choices. That often starts with looking at past relationships and early family experiences to understand how they shape present reactions.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and matters related to identity, gender and sexuality. She has worked with people facing displacement and immigration and with those from diverse cultural backgrounds. This experience informs how she talks about cultural and personal history in sessions.
She also addresses practical life problems such as work stress, caregiver strain and communication or commitment difficulties. Issues linked to kink and alternative sex culture, blended family dynamics, body image and eating concerns are included in her list of focus areas.
Sepideh aims to build a steady working relationship where patterns can be noticed and thought about. She supports people to make different choices when those patterns cause distress. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Psychodynamic work and online counselling
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and early family life shape current feelings and actions. It looks for patterns that repeat, such as attachment or abandonment responses, and helps people reflect on why they react the way they do. This approach can be useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems and the aftermath of trauma.The therapist will work with clients to find an approach that fits their goals. That means discussing what feels most relevant and adapting the way sessions run as understanding grows. The process is collaborative and paced according to the person's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Different formats can suit quieter audio conversations, shorter check-ins, or full face-to-face video sessions depending on what the client and therapist agree will work best.
