About Neda
Counsellor and BACP member Neda Yarahmadi has five years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma concerns. She works with people on issues such as depression, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Neda uses a person-focused way of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how those affect close relationships. In practice this means looking at how thoughts, feelings and early connections shape current reactions.
Her background includes study up to CPCAB level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling and a postgraduate level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That mix informs short-term practical work and deeper relational exploration. She also draws on approaches such as Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and Internal Family Systems when relevant.
Typical sessions involve talking through current problems, spotting repeated patterns and testing small changes. For someone facing trauma or abuse she will work at a steady pace and focus on what feels manageable. For anxiety or low mood the work often includes practical techniques alongside exploring underlying beliefs.
People looking to address attachment, abandonment or intimacy issues will find help in identifying patterns and building different responses over time. Neda also supports people dealing with neurodiversity matters such as autism and ADHD, and complex presentations that include co-morbidity or substance concerns.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try different responses in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, offering space to talk and reflect while the counsellor follows the person's lead. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests practical changes, which can be worked on between sessions with simple exercises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods. Clients and counsellor review what helps and adjust the way they work together as needed.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Discuss practical arrangements with the counsellor when you book so sessions fit your routine.
