Samiyah Javed, BACP

Samiyah Javed is a registered BACP counsellor with three years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus includes body image, communication problems, fertility and immigration issues, postpartum depression, self-harm, and young adult and women’s issues.

Trained in client-centered therapy, Samiyah creates a respectful, non-judgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. She aims to help each person feel heard, valued, and supported while they work toward greater self-understanding and practical ways to manage daily challenges. Samiyah explains that her BACP credential indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the main UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, reflecting recognised training and professional standards.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Samiyah seeks to acknowledge that strength while offering steady, empathetic support. She accepts international clients and provides sessions in English, adapting her approach to individual needs and goals so people can find a path forward that feels right for them.

Client-Centered Support Through Flexible Online Sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. This approach helps people explore their feelings, clarify values and goals, and build self-understanding, making it useful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes.

Samiyah uses client-centered principles to tailor sessions to each person’s experience, collaborating with clients to find what feels most helpful. Deciding on the right therapeutic methods is part of the process, and she will work together with clients to identify approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences in a supportive way.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments by video call or phone can fit around work and family commitments, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional options for people who prefer writing or need more frequent, shorter check-ins. For many, this range of formats improves accessibility and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists across different locations.
