Career strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges are addressed too.
Sepideh holds BACP accreditation, which indicates her connection to professional standards in the UK. She has four years of experience as a practising counsellor. Her background includes cross-cultural work across Europe and the Middle East, which informs how she understands identity, displacement and immigration issues.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and choices. In practice this means talking about relationships, early memories and repeated behaviours to increase self-awareness and reduce unhelpful reactions.Sessions also look at themes such as attachment, abandonment and identity, which can help with anxiety, depression, grief and intimacy issues. This approach helps people who want to understand why they keep repeating certain patterns and to find different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work fits their goals and adjust the focus as new issues arise. Clients are encouraged to say what feels most useful so the pace and emphasis can be shaped together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow appointments across different locations. They also offer practical flexibility for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what a person needs.
