About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi works on patterns in relationships, mood and identity using psychodynamic therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in clinical practice.

Sepideh uses psychodynamic work to help people notice repeated behaviours and feelings that cause distress. Sessions aim to bring habits and early influences into view so a person can make different choices. She offers sessions in English and Persian and is based in the United Kingdom.

Her background includes cross-cultural experience in Europe and the Middle East. That experience informs how she understands identity, migration and cultural conflict. Sepideh focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and difficulties with intimacy.

She also works with a wide range of other concerns including body image, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, caregiver stress, anger, career and work-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, blended family and separation matters, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture.

Sessions are described as investigative and reflective, with attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. Sepideh aims to help people develop clearer understanding of how past experience affects present feelings and choices. To start, people are invited to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Psychodynamic approaches and how they work online

Psychodynamic therapy aims to uncover repeating patterns in relationships and feelings. It focuses on how early experiences and hidden expectations affect current behaviour and emotional responses. This approach is often used for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and patterns that keep recurring.

Another related focus in her work is attention to identity and cultural influences. This considers how migration, cultural conflict or displacement can shape how someone understands themselves and their relationships. It can help with matters such as shame, belonging and identity conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide whether psychodynamic work or another way of working suits you best. This is a collaborative process that can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a counselling appointment around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offer online work that aims to make regular contact more practicable for everyday life.
