About Siamak
Siamak Ehteshamzadeh is a HCPC-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and Persian, and he accepts international clients.
Siamak uses straightforward, structured methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to work on unhelpful thinking patterns and behavioural changes. Work can include short exercises, noticing patterns in daily life, and trying different responses between sessions.
In sessions he aims to make it simple to talk about difficult topics like abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, grief from divorce, and post-traumatic stress. He also offers support around money worries, isolation, hoarding, and issues commonly faced by men in midlife. The focus is on practical steps clients can try and review.
Where trauma is present he may use approaches that involve processing difficult memories in a paced way and building skills to manage strong reactions. He also draws on acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods to help people tolerate painful feelings while clarifying values and goals.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. Online CBT sessions often use short exercises and structured home tasks to change daily routines and reduce anxiety or low mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; online sessions can practise these skills and review how they were used during the week.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice may shift as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
The original profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to use video or other available ways to connect, depending on what works best for each person.
