About Fatemeh

Fatemeh Mokri is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, parenting pressures, and workplace or career changes. Fatemeh works in English and Persian and aims to provide a warm, respectful first meeting for anyone feeling unsure about starting therapy.

She uses talking and reflection to help people gain perspective and make practical changes. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person, and on building small, manageable steps towards better day-to-day functioning. Fatemeh adapts the pace and focus to fit each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

In practice she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and Emotionally-Focused ways of working. These are used flexibly to address things like anxiety, relationship patterns, obsessive thoughts, and sleep disruption. She keeps the conversation straightforward and centred on the person’s goals.

Fatemeh works within a university-linked counselling setting and also teaches counselling and psychotherapy. Her background includes five years of overall experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. This underpins her commitment to professional standards and ongoing learning.

People who are coming after a sudden loss, a break-up, or long-standing difficulty will find sessions aimed at untangling the problem and planning realistic next steps. The focus is practical and compassionate, helping clients move toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and settling changes in daily routines. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps build different habits for sleep, mood and worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns in close relationships and can help people improve connection and handle intimacy-related struggles.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss these approaches with the person and choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals and what feels most comfortable. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits the client’s priorities and pace.

If you are considering online sessions, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue talking through sleep routines, anxiety, relationship issues and other concerns from wherever they are located, with arrangements agreed at the start of therapy.
