About Sepideh
Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Sepideh offers sessions in English and Persian and accepts international clients.
She uses psychodynamic methods to help people notice repeating patterns that affect their choices. In sessions she listens for how past experiences shape feelings and reactions today. This can make it easier to stop unhelpful cycles and try new ways of managing stress and relationships.
Background and approach
Her background includes cross-cultural experience in Europe and the Middle East, which informs how she understands identity and displacement. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and life changes, as well as concerns around intimacy, body image and eating and sleeping problems. Sepideh also works with issues linked to parenting, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress and family of origin difficulties.
She addresses communication problems, codependency and commitment concerns in straightforward conversations that aim to clarify what matters to each person. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches Sepideh lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Psychodynamic work and online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how early relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people spot repeated patterns, understand underlying emotions and make different choices in relationships and parenting.In sessions the counsellor pays attention to recurring themes, strong emotional reactions and how people relate to others. This approach can be useful for tackling anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and difficulties in close relationships by building deeper self-awareness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to decide together what feels most helpful. Plans may change as self-understanding grows and different issues come into focus.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for a more conversational session, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life and work commitments.
