About Sepideh
I am a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, OCD, trauma, low self-esteem, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I have worked across both NHS and private practice settings with adults, adolescents, and older adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring what’s going on, understanding the patterns behind your difficulties, and developing tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and control.
Using evidence-based therapies including CBT, ERP, ACT, and mindfulness approaches, I tailor therapy to your individual needs and goals.

Client Testimonials
“Life Changing Support”
“Without sounding dramatic - life changing! We worked through some really complex behavioural patterns that were affecting my day-to-day and with Sepideh’s help I have altered many of these. She creates a very calm space for you to speak and I always felt comfortable sharing. CBT is an amazing tool and I’m really happy I went through this journey with Sepideh, she brought to light many things that had been troubling me for years and I finally feel as though I made progress through them. Thank you doesn’t do it justice!”
“A Safe and Collaborative Space”
“Through our collaborative partnership, I truly felt heard and supported in a safe space. Your guidance helped me accept and understand that I have the power to change my experience simply by changing my thoughts. You've also helped me develop healthier coping mechanisms, and for that, I'm deeply grateful”.
“Learning Tools for Lasting Change”
“Coming from a background where therapy is not often talked about, this space really opened my eyes to be the best version of myself. I have learnt so many useful tools that I have put in practice and plan to implement them going forward”.
“Building Confidence and Understanding”
“Sepideh was very easy to talk to and helped me understand some of the underlying reasons behind why I felt how I did and what tools I can use to help me through it. She made each session useful which allowed me to slowly build my confidence over time”.
“From Doubt to Real Progress”
“I really did not want to take part in CBT but it had got to the stage where I was willing to give it a try as I was feeling really down and quite depressed. I realised after each session that I gained very useful steps/techniques to help with my negative thoughts and overthinking every situation. I found taking part in the sessions quite difficult as I knew I had to open up and be honest, however the more I did that the more useful the sessions became and began to feel so much better about half way through the sessions. I would highly recommend anyone to try this and I wouldn’t hesitate in returning for more sessions in the future if I feel this would benefit me”.
“Feeling Safe, Understood and Challenged”
“I just want to thank you so much for the past 5 months. I know I mentioned it before but my life really has turned around since our sessions and that felt like an impossibility at the start so it can't be understated how much I appreciate everything you've done. You're so professional, empathetic and challenging in all the right places that really pushed me to put the work in. I always felt so safe and understood, so I'm going to miss our sessions but I'm really going to do my best to put everything we spoke about into practice!”

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based & well researched talking therapy. It is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for many mental health problems.
It is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for many other mental and physical health problems.
CBT focuses upon how your thoughts and behaviours impact upon your emotions and physical symptoms.
CBT is collaborative treatment and typically involves doing homework tasks between appointments.
It aims to teach you to become your own therapist, teaching you tools so you can keep using the strategies and techniques you have learned after you have finished therapy.
-
The first session is an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy and what you would like support with. Sepideh will take time to understand your experiences, current difficulties, goals, and any patterns that may be keeping problems going. Together, you will begin developing a shared understanding of your difficulties and discuss a therapy plan tailored to your needs.
