About Fariba
Fariba Shahbakhti-Warrington, BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom, has three years of experience listed for this profile. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and related life changes.
She takes a practical approach that focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions use clear, structured work that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-informed ideas. Conversations look at upsetting thoughts, reactions and everyday habits. Tasks and simple experiments between sessions are often suggested to test different ways of coping.
Her practice emphasises straightforward talk about difficult experiences. Fariba pays attention to past relationships and how they shape current responses. She also addresses issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault and self-harm with direct, steady work that aims to reduce immediate distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Fariba includes existential perspectives when clients want to examine meaning and values. That can help people facing major life changes such as divorce or bereavement. She also uses emotion-focused techniques to help identify and work through intense feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian and she accepts international clients. Cost and exact session arrangements vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow the site's process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Fariba blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with a client-centred stance to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and some addictive patterns. Attachment-informed work looks at how earlier relationships influence current reactions and can help with intimacy, grief and relationship worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and choose methods together. That means sessions can shift between practical CBT tasks, exploring emotions, or looking at values and meaning depending on what helps most.
The practical aim of online work is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm the session formats offered before booking because specific options are not listed on this profile. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, use these formats to support consistent, focused progress.
