Sarvin Afarinesh

Sarvin Afarinesh offers a calm, down-to-earth way to work through painful or confusing life problems. She helps people reconnect with their own needs and values so they can make clearer choices. Sarvin writes simply and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person.

She uses a mix of psychodynamic and human-centred thinking alongside existential ideas and body-focused methods. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily experience. There is often room for creative ways of working, such as drawing, writing or using simple objects to help express what is hard to say.

Sarvin has 11 years of experience and holds a BACP credential, and she works with people from different cultural backgrounds. She has particular interest in identity and difference, and in issues that touch self-worth and relationships.

In practice she pays attention to how early relationships, patterns and life events shape present behaviour. Conversations aim to identify what keeps someone stuck and to map small changes that feel possible. Work can include reflecting on attachment, boundaries, communication, and coping with loss or trauma.

Sessions can also focus on practical goals such as managing stress, improving sleep, or addressing addiction and mood concerns. She offers online sessions by video or voice call and speaks English and Persian. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Sarvin’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own answers, which can suit worries about identity, self-esteem and life choices. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and earlier relationships to understand current reactions; this can help with attachment issues, relationship patterns and repeated conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Sarvin will work collaboratively to try ways of working that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they will check what feels most useful and adapt the approach as understanding grows.

The profile notes that she offers online sessions by video or voice call. Please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, skip travel time, have shorter check-ins when needed, or use voice-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to explore emotions, body-based sensations and practical goals in ways that suit everyday schedules.
