About Sarvin
Sarvin Afarinesh is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger and relationship difficulties. Sessions focus on understanding what triggers difficult reactions and on practical ways to manage them day to day.
Sarvin uses an integrative approach that draws on psychodynamic, client-centred and somatic ideas. Conversations look at thoughts, emotions, behaviour and body sensations to help make sense of repeated patterns. She also welcomes creative methods such as drawing, writing or using objects during sessions when that feels helpful.
Her work often explores identity, culture and the ways past relationships shape present reactions. This includes looking at attachment, abandonment and communication problems that can feed frustration and resentment. The emphasis is on noticing what keeps someone stuck and finding small, doable changes.
Sarvin describes her style as intuitive and practical. She blends reflective discussion with exercises that target behaviour and bodily awareness. That mix is intended to help people recognise early signs of agitation and learn alternative responses.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian and she meets people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including international clients. She provides online video and voice-call sessions and uses a subscription model for appointments that can be cancelled at any time.
How Sarvin blends approaches for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own view and priorities. It involves open listening and reflecting so someone can clarify what matters most to them and decide on steps forward. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and early experiences, helping people see why certain situations trigger strong reactions now. Somatic Therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement as part of emotional work, which can be useful for recognising early signs of agitation or physical tension.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Sarvin will discuss goals, past experience of therapy and practical preferences, and then try methods that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as things progress.
Online sessions are offered via video or voice call according to her practice. When booking, confirm the current session options before you start. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also allow creative exercises and body-oriented work to be adapted for the session you choose.
