Sepideh Cheraghi

Sepideh Cheraghi is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and works in English and Persian. Sepideh draws on a decade of cross-cultural experience to help people understand repeating life patterns and make different choices.

Her practice focuses on building awareness of how past experiences shape present feelings. Sessions often look at relationships, family background, and self-esteem so people can recognise unhelpful cycles. She also supports those facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and identity concerns, including issues relating to gender and sexuality.

Sepideh describes her work as aiming for meaningful, long-term change through increased self-knowledge. In conversation she helps people name difficult emotions, trace where they come from, and try out new ways of responding. This approach can be useful for people struggling with eating and food-related issues or body image concerns.

Her background includes work across Europe and the Middle East, which shapes her sensitivity to cultural differences and migration-related stress. That experience informs how she talks about displacement, belonging and identity in sessions.

People who contact her are invited to explore relationship patterns, attachment concerns and issues such as abandonment, codependency or control. Sepideh also works with matters like bereavement, workplace stress, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

Practical next steps are simple: select the Start Therapy button on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Psychodynamic work and online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps people understand how past relationships and life events shape current feelings and behaviours. Sessions pay attention to patterns, recurring emotions and the meanings behind them, which can help with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and identity questions.

Psychodynamic work can also support those coping with trauma, grief or eating and food-related issues by creating space to name painful experiences and see how they influence present choices. The emphasis is on growing self-understanding rather than quick fixes, so change often takes place over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work fits their goals and to adapt the pace and focus as needs change. This collaborative plan is revisited in sessions so the work stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm the available options when you book. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by saving travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a break from work, or making it easier to keep continuity when living in different places. Registered or accredited professionals can describe practical arrangements when you start the booking process.
