About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of intimacy and identity concerns. Sepideh offers sessions in English and Persian.

She concentrates on how repeating patterns from earlier relationships shape current feelings and choices. In sessions she helps people notice those patterns, name them and understand where they come from. The focus is on increasing awareness so different choices become possible.

Sepideh draws on cross-cultural experience from work in Europe and the Middle East to pay attention to cultural and identity questions. She supports people dealing with displacement, immigration, and conflicts about gender or sexuality. These threads are considered alongside everyday problems like sleep, eating, work stress and parenting strain.

Practical concerns such as coping when someone close drinks a lot, managing people-pleasing, or struggling with boundaries are included in her work. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image and codependency patterns. Conversations move between current problems and their deeper roots.

Sessions aim to build clearer self-understanding and steadier ways of relating. People leave with new ways to notice old habits and try different responses in relationships and at work. To begin, clients select an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

Psychodynamic approaches and working online

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and actions. It helps people notice repeated patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulties saying no, or getting lost in relationships, and connect those patterns to earlier experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses a person’s goals and preferences and together they decide whether psychodynamic work fits or if another way of working would be better. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not state which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They also allow a quieter check-in when time is limited or a shorter session during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt how they work to match someone’s schedule and practical constraints rather than asking for big changes to daily life.
