About Farhad

Farhad Robinson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship or parenting strain. He supports those dealing with trauma, depression, ADHD, anger and low self-esteem. He also works with people coping with career pressure, compassion fatigue, bipolar issues and changes like separation or divorce.

Farhad uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions begin with the person's priorities and move at a pace that feels right. He aims to listen without judgement and to be straightforward and sincere during conversations.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. This can help when someone wants to understand long-standing difficulties, attachment or abandonment concerns, and issues around identity or impulse control.

In practical terms Farhad focuses on simple steps people can try between sessions. He talks through coping strategies for sleep, stress and day-to-day triggers, and explores ways to improve communication and boundaries. Sessions are tailored rather than boxed into one method.

Farhad holds NCPS as a credential and has three years' experience. He works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a time that suits them.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the person says, checks understanding and helps them set goals that feel manageable. This approach suits issues like stress, sleep difficulties and relationship concerns because it starts from what matters now.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and moments when people feel stuck. A counsellor using this approach will gently point out recurring themes, such as attachment or abandonment worries, so the person can see how past experiences shape current reactions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which approach or mix of approaches fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as work develops and as different issues come up.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also let people choose quieter times or less demanding ways of meeting, so therapy can slot into everyday life more easily.
