Neda Yarahmadi , BACP

Neda Yarahmadi is a counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist based in the United Kingdom who specialises in trauma, relationships, anxiety and self-esteem. She trained to Level 4 with the CPCAB in Therapeutic Counselling and completed a postgraduate Level 5 qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2017, and she is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional membership and adherence to recognised practice standards.

Neda draws on a range of therapeutic modalities including person-centred work, transactional analysis, Gestalt, internal family systems and cognitive behavioural therapy, tailoring these approaches to the needs of each client. Her clinical focus includes trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and she has experience supporting people with autism and ADHD and with challenges such as negative self-talk.

In practice she aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, understand their patterns, and develop practical coping strategies. Neda’s work often addresses relational themes and attachment dynamics while combining insight-oriented methods with structured techniques from CBT to help clients navigate life changes, process loss, and build more resilient self-regard.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Connection

Neda works with approaches that combine relationship-focused insight and practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment and attachment difficulties by exploring emotional bonds and patterns in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's empathetic presence and the client’s own capacity for growth - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and navigating life changes by offering a nonjudgmental space for reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and it is often used to address anxiety, depression and negative self-talk.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Neda collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals and preferences, combining elements from different models to create a personalised plan that fits the individual and their circumstances.

Online therapy with Neda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or while traveling, allow for continuity when life is busy, and support different ways of communicating so clients can choose what feels most effective for them.
