About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people presenting stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Persian.

Sepideh uses psychodynamic therapy to look at recurring patterns that affect how people relate to themselves and others. She pays attention to past experiences that shape present reactions. People often come to her with worries about self-esteem, grief, trauma and difficulties in intimacy.

Her background includes cross-cultural work across Europe and the Middle East, which informs how she thinks about identity, displacement and gender or sexuality questions. This experience shapes how she talks with people about cultural expectations and migration-related strain.

In practical terms she helps people notice repeated ways of coping that cause problems. Conversations aim to increase insight about why certain feelings or behaviours keep happening. That awareness is used to consider different ways of responding in daily life.

Areas she has worked with include depression, eating and sleeping issues, anger, career stress, ADHD-related struggles, codependency and family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family adjustments, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

How psychodynamic work translates to online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns in relationships and feeling states. Online sessions follow the same aim: noticing how past experiences shape present responses. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and questions about identity. The therapist and client will work together to decide how therapy should proceed. That includes talking about what to focus on, the pace of sessions and any practical adjustments. Clients are invited to share their goals and preferences so the approach can be adapted over time. Specific session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help people maintain regular sessions alongside daily life.
