About Neda

Neda Yarahmadi works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship and intimacy issues using person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in counselling practice.

Neda trained to level 4 with the CPCAB in Therapeutic Counselling and completed a postgraduate level 5 course in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2017. She combines the client-centred way of working with practical CBT tools to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

She supports people dealing with grief and life changes, and those managing ongoing issues such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD and the effects of trauma and abuse. Neda also works with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns and problems with self-esteem.

Her practice includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and she has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome. Other focused areas include codependency, control and commitment issues, body image, dissociation and addiction-related difficulties.

In sessions she uses straightforward talking, reflective listening and cognitive techniques to identify what feels most pressing and then try practical ways to change day-to-day coping. She aims to make sessions clear and focused so people can take simple steps between meetings.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. It can help with relationship problems, attachment worries and fears of abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own perspective and uses reflective listening to help them find their own answers. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk and clarify feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or not being on camera makes a session easier to manage.
