Sepideh Cheraghi, BACP

Sepideh Cheraghi is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She draws on psychodynamic principles to help clients explore patterns of thought, feeling, and relating, aiming to develop deeper self-understanding and long-term change. Her practice addresses issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, and challenges connected to gender, sexuality, and identity.

Sepideh also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family matters, body image and codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and work-related concerns including career transitions and compassion fatigue. She offers therapy in both English and Persian to clients in the UK and internationally. As a member of the BACP - the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - she practices using an evidence-informed psychodynamic approach that emphasizes insight, unconscious influences, and the therapeutic relationship to promote meaningful personal growth.

Clients can expect an approach that attends to both present difficulties and the underlying patterns that contribute to them, with an emphasis on building understanding, resilience, and healthier ways of connecting with self and others.

Psychodynamic Approaches and Remote Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and behaviours. This approach helps people uncover recurring themes in their relationships and emotional life, supporting work on issues such as attachment, intimacy-related struggles, trauma, and patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression.

Through psychodynamic work clients are invited to reflect on feelings, memories, and repetitive ways of relating, with the aim of achieving greater self-awareness and more adaptive choices. For many, this deeper understanding can reduce distress and improve relationships by bringing hidden dynamics into awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sepideh works collaboratively with clients to determine what style and pace best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors psychodynamic methods to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for clients who prefer remote access. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or geographical constraints. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while still engaging in meaningful, insight-oriented work with registered professionals and therapists.
