Samiyah Javed , BACP

Samiyah Javed is a counsellor who helps women and young adults facing a wide range of concerns. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Samiyah also supports people dealing with depression, grief, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related worries.

She uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person's own goals and pace. Samiyah aims to listen without judgement and to build a warm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult feelings.

Samiyah holds BACP, which shows she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings three years of practice helping people with eating and sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. Her work also covers body image, postpartum depression and fertility or immigration-related stress.

In sessions she will explore what matters most to each person and help them find practical steps forward. Conversations may include looking at communication problems, feelings of emptiness, isolation or cultural pressures. Samiyah also offers help around self-harm thoughts and building self-love when that is needed.

People can expect straightforward, compassionate conversations rather than technical language. The approach is collaborative - she helps clients set goals and reviews progress together. Samiyah accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries who prefer working online.

How client-centred care works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client's own goals. The therapist offers a supportive, non-judgemental space and follows the person's lead to uncover what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, grief and relationship worries by building trust and clarity about next steps.

Samiyah works in a collaborative way to find the best approach for each person. She will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods and session styles feel most useful, and review progress as therapy continues.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can fit short breaks or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel commitments and to choose the format that feels right.
