About Sarvin
Sarvin Afarinesh offers a calm, curious approach for people who are worn out by stress, poor sleep or recurring patterns that feel hard to shift. She invites clients to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations and gently name what gets in the way of rest and wellbeing. Sessions are warm and practical, aimed at helping people reconnect with what they need to feel more settled in day-to-day life.
Sarvin works in an integrative way that draws on psychodynamic, client-centred and somatic ideas. This means conversations look at personal history and relationships, present-day habits, and how emotions show up in the body. Creative tools such as drawing or writing are available when they help someone express what is hard to put into words.
Her background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology. She is a BACP member which is listed among her professional credentials. Over eleven years of practice have included a focus on identity, culture and differences that shape a person’s experience.
In sessions she tends to keep things practical and collaborative. Together with the client she maps what feels stuck and experiments with small changes that can lead to better sleep, reduced anxiety or clearer boundaries. The aim is to help people build steadier routines and a stronger sense of self that supports long term coping.
Sarvin offers therapy in English and Persian and sees international clients. If someone prefers creative ways to explore feelings or wants to work on sleep and rest routines, she may integrate art, imagination and body-based noticing into the work.
How approaches and online work can fit your needs
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person from their own point of view. It helps with building self-trust, making changes at a comfortable pace, and improving emotional regulation. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early relationships to understand why certain reactions and sleep problems keep coming up. It can be useful when you want to see how past experiences affect present habits. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and physical responses to stress, using simple body awareness to help reduce tension and support better sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. You can try a practical blend, adjust the focus over time, and use creative or body-based tools when they feel helpful.
The profile notes that online sessions are offered via video or voice call, so please confirm the exact formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, offering a shorter check-in during a break, or allowing sessions when meeting in person is difficult. Many people find online sessions help maintain regular routines and put therapeutic work into daily life without needing extra arrangements.
