About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi offers psychodynamic counselling that focuses on understanding patterns beneath everyday problems. She uses reflective conversation to help people notice repeating feelings and reactions. Sepideh works in English and Persian and brings a calm, thoughtful style to sessions.

She helps with stress and anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life-change stress.

02

How Sepideh works

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and concerns connected to kink and alternative sex culture. Sepideh holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her background includes cross-cultural work and a focus on helping people make sense of long-standing patterns that affect daily life. In a session she pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves. Conversations aim to uncover how early experiences shape present choices and feelings.

This can make it easier to change unhelpful patterns and respond differently to stressors. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients can be seen, and practical arrangements are agreed once someone has completed the short matching questionnaire and scheduled a time.

Online support options

Psychodynamic counselling adapted for online care

Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated feelings and relationships that show up across a person’s life. It helps identify where patterns come from and how they shape current choices, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship issues and attachment concerns.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. The therapist listens for recurring themes and helps people name and understand them. This approach can support work on trauma, grief, shame, body image and problems linked to family of origin.

The right approach is decided together. Sepideh will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions to fit each person. That collaborative process means therapy can shift over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a closer sense of connection, phone calls can be handy when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or busy family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
