About Siamak

Siamak Ehteshamzadeh helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He uses straightforward talking, practical strategies and guided therapeutic methods to help people manage distress and improve everyday functioning. He is registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and has five years of professional experience.

His sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps. He listens to what matters to the client and suggests techniques drawn from several approaches, including acceptance and mindfulness practices, cognitive work on thoughts and behaviour, and emotion-focused exercises. Sessions tend to be practical and geared towards skills people can use between meetings.

Siamak also works with issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, first responder issues, forgiveness, hoarding, isolation and loneliness, men's issues, midlife crisis, money problems, post-traumatic stress and self-love. He can offer support for clients who are hearing impaired and can work in English and Persian.

He describes therapy as a collaborative process. He helps clients set realistic aims and checks progress regularly. When trauma is part of the picture he may use approaches suited to processing distressing memories alongside stabilisation techniques.

Sessions are arranged through an online matching and booking process. The cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavioural change work to reduce distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories by combining focused memory work with bilateral stimulation and can help when past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and agree a plan with the client, adjusting methods to fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist explains the reasoning and invites feedback on what is helpful.

For practicalities, confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered professionals and therapists commonly use different formats, so checking the available options will help set expectations for scheduling and session length.
