About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She works in English and Persian and brings four years of UK experience to her work. Sepideh focuses on helping people understand patterns that keep them stuck and supports them as they make different choices for their lives.

Her approach centres on looking at how past experience and relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Sessions aim to bring greater self-awareness and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, relationship and family concerns, and issues around identity and sexuality.

Sepideh’s background includes working with people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds across Europe and the Middle East. That experience informs how she notices cultural influences on how people relate, grieve, love and cope with change. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, and parenting strain.

In practical terms, sessions are conversational and reflective. The focus is on noticing repeating patterns, feelings that come up in the room, and the stories people tell about themselves. This helps clients make sense of difficult emotions and try different ways of relating.

Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is listed as BACP. Those seeking sessions are asked to follow the platform process to match and book time with her.

Psychodynamic insight delivered online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and life experiences shape how people think, feel and behave now. It helps uncover repeating patterns, such as recurring arguments, avoidance, or sleep problems, so people can try new ways of responding.

In sessions the counsellor listens for themes that repeat in a person's life and links them to present difficulties. That process often helps with issues like anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy struggles and identity conflicts by making hidden patterns clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together decide whether psychodynamic work or another way of working is the best fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit around work and family life, and they can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth is limited, while others choose longer video sessions for a deeper conversational rhythm.
