Neda Yarahmadi , BACP

Neda Yarahmadi is a counsellor with focused training in therapeutic counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy. She completed a CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling and a postgraduate Level 5 qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2017, and she also holds BACP credentials. The CPCAB Level 4 denotes a vocational diploma in counselling skills and practice, while the Level 5 postgraduate qualification reflects advanced training in CBT techniques.

Her practice draws on person-centered approaches alongside Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, and CBT. This blend supports work on negative self-talk, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and the effects of past trauma. She has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those with ADHD, applying interventions that respect individual differences and communication styles.

Neda specialises in trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and the emotional impacts of relationship difficulties. She also works with issues around self-esteem, mood disorders and life transitions. Her approach emphasises empathy, collaborative goal-setting, and techniques tailored to each person’s needs, aiming to help clients develop clearer self-understanding and practical coping strategies.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and current connections; it helps people understand attachment styles and improve trust and intimacy in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy, sometimes called person-centered, places the person’s experience at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and support to foster self-direction and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns with practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress, and to build coping skills.

The right approach is often found together. Neda works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting methods so they fit the client’s needs rather than applying a single model rigidly. This collaborative process guides selection of approaches and adjustments over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists, supporting continuity of care and practical access to therapeutic work.
