About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and offers therapy in English and Persian. Sepideh aims to help people understand recurring patterns that cause distress and to build clearer choices in their daily lives.

Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, including family and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and anger, and with challenges around self-esteem, eating and sleeping. Sepideh has experience with concerns linked to identity and sexuality, including LGBT matters and cultural displacement.

Sepideh draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people uncover underlying patterns from past relationships and experiences. Therapy often looks at how early attachments shape current responses and how unspoken feelings influence decision making. Sessions are a chance to notice repeated behaviours, name emotions and try different ways of relating.

Her background includes several years working across Europe and the Middle East with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. This experience informs how she attends to cultural differences and migration-related stress when relevant. She describes psychodynamic work as a route to deeper self-awareness rather than a quick fix.

Practical matters such as scheduling and fees are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Psychodynamic insights and online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy helps people examine how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. It focuses on patterns, attachment, and the meanings behind repeated reactions, which can help with issues like relationship difficulties, identity conflicts and recurring emotional pain.

The aim of this work is to build clearer understanding rather than to offer quick fixes. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful, tailoring the approach to each person's goals and preferences. Finding the right method is part of the process and will be discussed together as therapy unfolds.

Session logistics vary by practitioner, so confirm the formats offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from different locations, including international settings. It can also make short check-ins simpler or allow for sessions when it is difficult to attend in person. Ask about available session types when you start so arrangements match your daily routine and needs.
