She mentions a particular interest in men’s wellbeing and aims to help men find clearer ways to cope.

She offers sessions in English and Persian and is based in the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure whether this way of working fits, she suggests starting with an initial appointment to see how things feel.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Person-centred work places the client's experience at the centre of sessions and emphasises listening, acceptance and the client's own goals. Online this helps people feel heard and develop clarity about what they want to change. Attachment-informed ideas look at how early relationships shape current responses and patterns, which can help with trust, boundaries and repeated relationship difficulties when discussed in therapy.Cognitive-behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to change them. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and can include tasks to practise between sessions that build new habits and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix of methods best fits their needs, aims and preferences, and will review progress together as sessions continue.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also enable people living abroad to access a UK-based counsellor who speaks English or Persian. Confirm the exact session options available when you arrange the first appointment.
