About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of practice in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Persian. Sepideh works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, and anger.

She uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice repeating patterns that cause difficulty. That approach looks at past experiences and how they shape current feelings and reactions. Sepideh describes it as a way to build insight so clients can make different choices in daily life.

Her background includes cross-cultural experience in Europe and the Middle East, which she says informs her work with people from varied cultural perspectives. She has supported people facing trauma and abuse, grief, identity conflicts, and workplace stress.

Sepideh also addresses practical life problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she notes are attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns.

Sessions are described as a place to talk through destructive patterns and decision-making habits. The aim is greater self-awareness so clients can manage reactions like irritability or resentment more intentionally.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

Psychodynamic approaches and online counselling

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and situations. It helps by making those patterns clearer so a person can understand why they react with anger, withdrawal or avoidance, and try different responses. This approach is often used for issues like unresolved grief, relationship strain, shame and long-standing anxiety.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and collaborate on an approach that fits the client's needs. That may mean working on understanding early patterns, noticing triggers, or combining short-term practical steps with deeper reflection.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and structure so sessions slot into everyday life while focusing on managing anger, stress and relationship problems.
