Neda Yarahmadi

Neda Yarahmadi is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. She draws on five years of practice to help people who feel stuck by anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or the aftermath of trauma. Neda also supports people facing relationship pain and intimacy-related worries, and she lists divorce and separation among her areas of focus.

She trained with the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body at Level 4 and completed postgraduate study in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Level 5. Her listed qualification with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is BACP. These credentials inform how she plans sessions and reflects on progress.

In sessions she uses a mix of client-centred listening and practical CBT techniques. That means time is given to hear a person’s experience, and then to try concrete steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also describes work with attachment-related patterns and emotional processing methods when relationships are part of the difficulty.

Neda works with a range of concerns including stress, depression, bipolar presentations, ADHD and issues around substance misuse and domestic violence. She names many additional focus areas such as abandonment, body image, codependency and dissociation, which shape the kinds of conversations she offers.

People who want to start are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session. Sessions are carried out from the United Kingdom and are offered in English.

How Neda's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work emphasises understanding how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour; online sessions can be a place to notice these patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and acceptance, giving people time to tell their story and feel heard, which suits reflective online conversations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for addressing anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods best match a person’s goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy while living abroad, since international clients are accepted. If you have practical needs like quieter surroundings or preferring not to use video, discuss these when scheduling so sessions can match everyday life.
