Sepideh Cheraghi, BACP

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She holds accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which denotes professional recognition in the UK, and she has four years of clinical experience supporting a wide range of presenting concerns.

Her practice is informed by cross-cultural work across Europe and the Middle East, and she focuses on helping clients understand and move beyond repeated patterns that limit their wellbeing. Sepideh applies psychodynamic principles to explore how past relationships, attachment experiences, and unconscious processes shape current feelings and choices. This approach is used to support people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and shame, identity conflicts, and challenges related to gender and sexuality.

She also works with more specific concerns including intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication difficulties, and the impacts of displacement or immigration. Therapy is offered in English and Persian, and Sepideh is available to work with international clients by means that suit each person’s circumstances.

Psychodynamic Care and Online Therapy

Sepideh practices psychodynamic therapy, a depth-oriented approach that explores how early relationships, attachment patterns, and unconscious habits influence present feelings and choices. This work helps people gain insight into recurring emotional patterns and understand how past experiences shape current struggles such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and identity questions.

In sessions she emphasizes exploration and self-reflection, helping clients identify the roots of difficult emotions and make more conscious choices. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Sepideh collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the work as understanding deepens.

Online therapy with Sepideh is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity when circumstances change, and to connect across geographical boundaries with licensed professionals and therapists who can support ongoing personal work.
