Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor practicing in the United Kingdom who holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With four years of clinical experience, she supports people in identifying and working through long-standing patterns that affect relationships, mood, and everyday functioning.

Her practice emphasizes depth and self-understanding, helping clients explore the roots of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with people facing stress, parenting and family difficulties, career challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and a range of identity and sexual-health topics including LGBT issues and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Sepideh offers therapeutic work in English and Persian, and she brings a psychodynamic lens to matters like attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, blended family and divorce concerns, caregiver stress, body image and eating-related difficulties, and family-of-origin wounds. Her approach seeks to foster clearer self-awareness and insight so clients can make lasting changes and move toward more intentional ways of living.

Psychodynamic Approaches and Online Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on uncovering recurring emotional patterns and the unconscious influences that shape thoughts, feelings, and relationships. It involves exploring past experiences and attachment histories to bring insight into current difficulties, which can help with issues like anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, low self-esteem, and trauma.

Within a psychodynamic framework, emphasis is often placed on how early relationships and internalized expectations affect present behavior. This type of exploratory work can clarify repetitive cycles and support changes in how people relate to themselves and others.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Sepideh will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and adjust the focus and pace of therapy accordingly, ensuring the approach feels like a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, supporting continuity of care across locations.
