She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside relational methods to help people understand patterns and try different ways of coping.

Neda trained in therapeutic counselling and completed postgraduate study in cognitive behavioural therapy.
Background and approach
She has five years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, and she also supports people living with ADHD and autism traits. Her sessions focus on learning skills and talking through relationship and attachment issues.
She helps people name negative self-talk, test unhelpful thoughts and build small changes that feel sustainable. When grief or major life changes are present, she helps people organise feelings and find practical next steps. Neda uses client-centred listening alongside attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships affect current patterns.
She also draws on emotionally focused and existential perspectives to attend to feelings about meaning, choice and connection. This mix is aimed at helping people feel seen and try things that reduce distress. People meet her for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or messaging, which she uses to suit different rhythms and schedules.
She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early relationships shape how people relate now. It helps with anxiety linked to closeness, abandonment fears and attachment patterns by looking at how current relationships recreate old dynamics.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people name feelings, feel understood and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy is task-focused and looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; it is useful for learning practical tools to manage anxiety and low mood.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Neda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that suit the issue and the person. Together they review what helps and adjust the way they work as therapy proceeds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and offer flexibility for different communication styles.
