About Farhad
Farhad Robinson works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and relationship and family concerns using a client-centred approach alongside psychodynamic ideas. He is a member of NCPS and has three years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.
He adopts a person-focused way of working that aims to listen without judgement and respond with straightforward honesty. Sessions are conversational and driven by what the client brings. He draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time and on client-centred principles to keep the client's priorities central.
In practice this means talking through current problems and looking at how past experiences might influence present behaviour. He helps people with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues, and supports those facing major life changes such as divorce or career decisions. He also works with neurodiversity issues including autism and Asperger syndrome, and with co-morbidity and complex presentations.
Farhad describes his work as integrative, bringing in ideas from other therapies where they help. He aims to be flexible in method while maintaining a steady focus on the client's goals. The approach suits people who want reflective work that also addresses immediate coping strategies.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accepted. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the client's experience and following what matters most to them. It involves open conversation, reflective listening and joint planning of next steps, which can help with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and relationship issues.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how early relationships influence present behaviour. It can help people understand repeated difficulties such as attachment issues, abandonment feelings, or patterns in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the client's needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Different session arrangements suit different people, so please confirm the specific session options available before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and to balance counselling with work, parenting and other commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
