About Neda

Neda Yarahmadi is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious or struggling with relationships, and she lists trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues among her main concerns. She also supports people managing low self-esteem, depression, bipolar features and ADHD-related challenges.

Neda uses straightforward talking therapies to help people name what is difficult and find practical next steps. She draws on client-centred ideas to focus on the person's concerns and on cognitive behavioural approaches to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Attachment-based work features in her practice when relationship patterns and early bonds are part of the difficulty.

Sessions are conversational and paced to what the person needs. Neda pays attention to patterns such as abandonment fears, codependency and control issues, and she can talk through relationship strain, separation and effects of domestic violence or abuse. She also has experience with body image, dissociation and addictive behaviours.

Her background includes training up to CPCAB level 4 in therapeutic counselling and a postgraduate level 5 in cognitive behavioural therapy. She lists additional approaches such as transactional analysis, gestalt and internal family systems among the methods she uses alongside CBT and attachment-informed work.

People who come for help are often dealing with everyday parenting and family pressures, career stress and life changes as well as deeper losses. Neda accepts clients internationally and offers sessions in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching button to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.

How sessions work

How attachment and CBT work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It helps when people notice repeated fears about abandonment or find themselves stuck in unhelpful relationship roles. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and changing habits that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they choose which methods to try and check in regularly to see what is helping.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and work commitments, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use audio-only if that suits them better or join from a quieter place without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients adapt exercises and tools so they work well in an online setting.
