About Neda
Neda Yarahmadi uses a blend of human-focused counselling and practical techniques to help people who feel stuck by anxiety, low mood, or difficult relationships. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member and draws on five years of experience to shape sessions that fit each person.
Conversations are plain and steady, with space to name what feels hard and try new ways of coping. Neda draws on approaches that look at how early bonds shape current patterns and how thoughts affect feelings.
How Neda works
She works collaboratively to help people understand what keeps a problem going. Sessions often include simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and steady emotional connections in relationships. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma and abuse.
Neda also helps with intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes such as separation or career shifts. She has experience with ADHD and autism and explores how these intersect with mood and relationships. Practical problems like substance use, codependency, body image and workplace strain are part of her focus too.
Neda pays attention to attachment wounds such as abandonment and control issues when these come up in sessions. She will work with co-occurring concerns and complex mood presentations including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation features. Her way of working aims to combine warmth with clear tools.
People can expect a balance of listening and active steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches that guide online therapy and what they do
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and responding. It helps people who notice repeated patterns in relationships, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others by focusing on building safer emotional responses. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work and relies on empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions and build self-worth. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets the link between thoughts, feelings and actions by teaching small experiments and practical skills to reduce anxiety and shift mood.Choosing the right approach is a process rather than a single decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then try methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative path where approaches can be combined or adjusted as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for fuller conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, and written tools that people can return to between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and changing schedules.
