About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and works in English and Persian. Sepideh uses a reflective, insight-focused style to help people recognise and change repeated patterns that cause distress.

Sepideh draws on around four years of experience alongside longer cross-cultural work in Europe and the Middle East. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues around self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, identity and sexuality questions, and work-related stress.

In sessions she encourages exploration of early relationships and recurring themes that shape present behaviour. This approach aims to increase self-awareness so people can make different choices in daily life. Conversations look at how past experiences affect current feelings, decisions and relationships.

She also addresses more specific concerns such as codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to caregiving. Sepideh works with topics including BDSM, kink and alternative sexual cultures, domestic violence, divorce and blended family issues.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Psychodynamic insights and online counselling

Psychodynamic therapy helps people notice repeated feelings and behaviours that began in earlier relationships. It uses conversation to uncover patterns of thought and emotion that influence current decisions and relationships. This can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, abandonment and attachment concerns.

Sepideh’s approach emphasises developing greater self-awareness so people can make different choices. She works collaboratively with each person to find the right match of pace and focus. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the work as needs and goals change.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping therapy consistent during transitions. Online work may make it easier to attend from different locations and reduce travel time. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and preferences.
