Sepideh Cheraghi , BACP

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeating patterns in their feelings and relationships. Sepideh speaks English and Persian, and brings four years of experience to her practice.

She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries. Additional areas include body image, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, career strain and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she looks at how past experiences shape present behaviour. That can mean talking about family of origin, attachment and abandonment themes. The aim is to increase awareness so people can make different choices in day-to-day life.

Sepideh also works with people exploring gender, sexuality and identity questions, including LGBT concerns, and those affected by displacement or cultural change. She is familiar with blended family issues, communication problems, and the dynamics around commitment and codependency.

Her approach tends to be reflective and conversational. Clients can expect space to talk about painful experiences like abuse, domestic violence, or grief, while tracing how these experiences affect current patterns. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and are available to international clients.

Work is offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sepideh uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and habits. It helps people identify repeating patterns in relationships, attachment worries, abandonment fears and family of origin issues so they can make different choices in daily life.

In online sessions this approach is adapted to the medium by keeping a reflective, dialogue-based pace. Conversations focus on noticing emotions, memories and recurring reactions, and the therapist and client work together to understand what those patterns mean for the client's goals and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and collaborate with the client to decide how psychodynamic work fits their situation. That choice may shift over time as concerns and priorities change.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when needed, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family or travel, and help make therapy more accessible to international clients and those with varied schedules.
