About Samiyah

Samiyah Javed helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma using a person-centred way of working. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the individual's experience and to support practical change. Samiyah is a BACP member and has three years' experience in counselling in the United Kingdom.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career worries. Additional areas she focuses on include body image, communication problems, fertility and immigration issues, postpartum depression, self-harm and young adult issues.

In sessions she listens without judgement and encourages people to speak about what feels important to them. The approach is collaborative - the client sets goals and the counsellor follows the person's pace and priorities. Conversations aim to increase understanding and identify practical steps to cope better day to day.

Samiyah has supported people through life changes and periods of isolation or loneliness, and she addresses multicultural concerns as part of her work. Her style places emphasis on the client's own resources and on building clearer ways of communicating within relationships.

Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How Client-Centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully and follows the client's priorities, helping them to reflect on feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

The same person-focused principles apply whether work happens in person or online. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adjust the way sessions are run. Deciding which methods fit best is a collaborative process based on needs and what feels workable for the client.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact when travel is difficult. If you are considering counselling, check the platform or service to confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then agree a workable schedule and structure to suit day-to-day life.
