About Neda

Neda Yarahmadi is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of practice experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD.

She trained in cognitive behavioural approaches and completed a postgraduate Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2017. Her background also includes Person-centred counselling, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and Internal Family Systems work. In sessions she focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and trying different ways of responding.

Neda helps people who struggle with overwhelming self-talk, mood swings and the after-effects of abusive relationships. She supports people dealing with separation, grief and the emotional ripple effects of trauma. Practical strategies and short experiments are part of her way of working.

She also works with attachment and abandonment concerns and with people who want clearer boundaries and more stable intimacy. For those juggling career stress or changes, she looks at thoughts and habits that get in the way of decisions and wellbeing.

Neda offers collaborative, straightforward sessions. She invites clients to set goals, try small behavioural steps between sessions, and review what helps. Her approach aims to give clear tools people can use in everyday life.

How her approaches adapt to online counselling

Neda combines cognitive behavioural work with attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape expectations and reactions. Client-centred methods emphasise listening and reflecting so people can find their own next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences with the client, try methods that fit their needs, and review what is helpful as the work continues. This lets the approach shift if different practical tools or ways of talking are needed.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They also let people use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choose audio-only if bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversation to work across distance while keeping sessions focused on practical change.
