About Neda

Neda Yarahmadi is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression, family matters, grief, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar mood difficulties, life changes and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Neda uses approaches that centre on the person and on how relationships shape feelings. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that repeat between people. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help identify and work with strong emotions in relationships.

In a typical session she listens to what feels most pressing and helps people map out small, practical steps. She talks through negative self-talk and low self-esteem, and supports people dealing with trauma, grief and intimacy worries. She also works with clients who have autism or ADHD and their related challenges.

Neda trained in therapeutic counselling to CPCAB level 4 and completed postgraduate study in CBT at level 5 in 2017. Her background includes person-centred practice, transactional analysis, gestalt and internal family systems alongside CBT. This mix informs how she adapts sessions for different concerns.

People often arrive feeling stuck under guilt or shame about actions, identities or things left unsaid. Neda helps them name those feelings, consider where they come from, and try out different ways of responding. To begin, clients use the platform questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online booking flow.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape feelings and patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to track repeated interaction styles and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. In web or video discussions clients often bring real-time examples to reframe thinking and set practical tasks between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions in relationships and can be useful for intimacy-related struggles or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neda will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasise. That decision can change over time as different concerns come up, and she uses a mix of attachment, person-centred and CBT ideas to suit the situation.

Confirm the exact session formats before you book, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins, or make it simpler to meet during a lunch break or between commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into your schedule without promising a particular service.
