About Sepideh
Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of practice in the UK and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting strains, grief, trauma, self-esteem difficulties and questions about sexuality and identity.
Sepideh uses psychodynamic work to help people notice repeated patterns that cause pain. Sessions are about looking at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and choices. She aims to help people gain clearer self-awareness so they can make different decisions in daily life.
Her background includes several years working across Europe and the Middle East with people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. That experience informs how she listens for cultural and migration-related themes in conversations about identity, displacement and family roles.
In sessions she talks through relationship dynamics, family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the emotional impact of caregiving or blended-family stress. She also addresses eating and body image issues, intimacy and alternative-sex culture topics, and effects of workplace pressure or compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian. Practical matters such as cost and scheduling are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Psychodynamic work and online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how earlier relationships and life events shape current feelings and choices. It involves talking about recurring patterns, emotions and memories so those patterns become clearer and easier to change. This approach can be helpful for relationship problems, family of origin issues, grief, shame and identity questions.In practice, finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and together decide whether psychodynamic work is the best fit or whether other ways of working should be used alongside it.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work and daily life. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief conversation helps, or for audio-only work when video would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session length and rhythm to suit practical constraints while focusing on the emotional concerns brought to therapy.
