Neda Yarahmadi

Neda Yarahmadi is a counsellor who uses person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people facing eating and food-related issues alongside anxiety and low self-esteem. She holds BACP and completed a Level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling plus a postgraduate Level 5 in cognitive behavioural therapy. Neda writes plainly and works to make sessions feel understandable and manageable.

Her approach puts the person's experience first. She listens for patterns such as negative self-talk, attachment concerns or difficulties following trauma. Then she helps people notice thoughts and actions that keep problems going and tries simple, practical steps to change them.

Neda has around five years of professional experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She also has experience with autism and ADHD, and with addiction and domestic violence issues where these are relevant to the person’s story.

Sessions focus on building safety, clarity and small skills people can use between meetings. Conversations can cover coping with life changes, managing mood swings, and understanding patterns like codependency or avoidance. Neda aims to make the work collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

People come for short-term goal work as well as longer exploration of attachment, trauma and identity. Neda accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and meets people in ways agreed at intake.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and on how early bonds shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can be used to talk through relationship worries, attachment issues or how past abandonment affects present life. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and the person’s own experience; the therapist reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods suit those aims. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or busy days because travel time is removed. It also lets people try short check-ins or more focused skill practice when that fits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals aim to tailor pacing and tools to what each person needs, and this therapist will help plan how sessions fit into daily routines.
