About

About Sepideh

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and speaks English and Persian. Sepideh draws on cross-cultural experience from Europe and the Middle East to support people facing emotional and relational struggles.

She focuses on helping people notice and change repeating patterns that cause pain. Sessions look at early relationships and life history to understand current problems. This approach aims to build self-awareness and then apply that insight to daily life.

Background and approach

Sepideh has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around identity and sexuality, including LGBT matters. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, career strain and parenting are also part of her caseload.

Her practice pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, codependency, body image and blended family dynamics. She has experience with BDSM, kink and alternative sexual culture, and with people affected by domestic violence and separation. Sepideh also supports those coping with compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties.

People can expect calm, reflective conversations that connect past experience to present behaviour. Sepideh offers therapy in English and Persian and works with clients from varied cultural backgrounds. To begin, use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Online support

How psychodynamic therapy translates to online work

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and life history shape current feelings and behaviour. In an online setting this often means using conversation to trace repeating patterns and the emotions linked to them. The approach can be helpful for issues like depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and identity questions.

Sessions also explore attachment and abandonment themes to understand why someone might repeat certain choices. That focus can support work on intimacy, codependency, grief and responses to trauma by turning insight into different ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide how psychodynamic work fits those aims. If another method seems more helpful, that can be raised and considered together as therapy progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, can reduce travel time and can allow quieter check-ins when a full appointment is not possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and focus to suit each person, for example shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on need and scheduling.
