Sarvin Afarinesh, BACP

Sarvin Afarinesh is an integrative, multicultural psychotherapist who blends psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and body-focused methods to help people reconnect with themselves and move toward a more fulfilling life. She works with thoughts, feelings, physical experience and behaviours in a curious and compassionate way to map patterns, clarify values and uncover what keeps someone feeling stuck. Her practice places particular emphasis on identity, culture and difference, and she welcomes creative expression - including drawing, writing and using imagination - as part of the therapeutic process.

Sarvin brings 11 years of experience working with a wide range of clients on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and identity-related challenges. She also has a special interest in attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, kink and alternative sexual cultures, chronic illness and codependency.

She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre, a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society, and additional certificates in counselling skills, art therapy, integrative arts and couples counselling. Sarvin is BACP registered and accredited by the UKCP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy respectively - and she offers online sessions by video or voice call for clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
