About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice using a psychodynamic approach. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, anger, and issues around identity and sexuality. Sessions are offered in English and Persian.

Sepideh pays attention to patterns that repeat in people’s lives. She helps clients notice how past experiences influence current feelings and choices. Conversations aim to build clearer understanding rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes cross-cultural work in Europe and the Middle East. That experience shapes how she talks about displacement, immigration, and identity conflict. Sepideh also brings this perspective to concerns such as work-related stress and caregiver strain.

In practice she explores themes like attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues. She also addresses relationship topics such as communication problems, commitment worries, and blended family tensions. Practical day-to-day problems like sleep, eating, and career stress are part of the work too.

People who want to think through feelings of shame, low self-esteem, or emptiness can expect a focus on insight and long-term understanding. She includes attention to kink and alternative sex cultures when relevant, and supports those dealing with trauma, grief and compassion fatigue.

To begin, clients complete a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and Sepideh accepts international clients.

Psychodynamic-informed therapy online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand recurring patterns that contribute to anger, low mood, or relationship strain. Sessions often involve talking through memories, feelings and reactions to build clearer self-understanding.

Sepideh applies this approach to issues such as attachment difficulties, family of origin concerns, and identity conflicts. That perspective can be useful when anger links to past abandonment, shame, or ongoing relational tension. The aim is to work collaboratively to find what aspects of the psychodynamic approach fit best with your goals and needs.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with each client and adapt the focus based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative choice rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective psychodynamic work remotely, and Sepideh will help decide what approach and session pattern suit your practical circumstances best.
