Mahshid Rafizadeh-Farahani

I provide remote sessions as well as in person therapy, I do offer sessions on Saturdays as well as evenings between 6 pm to 8 pm, please contact me to discuss a session convenient to meet your schedule.

I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling, with further training in Integrative Therapy, CBT, and CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia). I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including neurodiverse individuals, and offer sessions in English and Farsi.

My therapeutic experience spans a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. I’ve supported clients dealing with everything from depression and anxiety to grief, trauma, and relational challenges. Regardless of your background, I’m here to help you overcome emotional barriers and build a healthier, more fulfilling life.

As an integrative and psychodynamic psychotherapist I approach each client with a deep sense of compassion and understanding, recognising that every person's experience is unique and shaped by a variety of factors. I believe in the power of a safe, non-judgmental space where client can explore their thoughts, emotions and life challenges.

In addition to my clinical training, I bring over 30 years of experience in the corporate sector and hold a BSc and MBA, where I mentored individuals through career development, leadership challenges, and professional transitions. This insight informs my work with clients experiencing burnout, workplace stress, and career-related difficulties.

I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´) and fully insured to practice.

Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating at times, and speaking with a trained therapist offers the chance to untangle those emotions, gain clarity, and feel truly heard. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, or personal growth, talking to someone who listens without judgment can make a meaningful difference.

Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Whether you’re dealing with a specific concern or a more general sense of unease, therapy can help you gain clarity and develop tools for lasting change.

Often the cause of emotional issues can be found in close, complex relationships - with family, partners, friends and even colleagues. Whilst therapy isn’t a silver bullet for resolving longstanding problems, it can be hugely helpful in changing your reflex responses to certain emotional triggers and reducing the frequency of conflict.

You might be struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties. Therapy offers a non-judgmental, reflective space to understand emotional patterns, uncover the root causes of distress, and strengthen your ability to respond with agency and self-awareness.

Short-Term Therapy

A focused, goal-oriented approach that helps you address specific concerns such as workplace stress, relationship issues, or sleep difficulties.

Long-Term Therapy

An in-depth exploration of past experiences, unconscious processes, and emotional patterns. Ideal for complex issues like trauma, identity struggles, and long-standing anxiety or depression.

My aim is to help you build emotional resilience, understand your inner world, and create meaningful, lasting change.

To decide if therapy is for you, I offer free 15 minutes call to discuss what you are hoping to achieve from therapy.

Once you have decided to proceed I will carryout an assessment which usually takes 90 minutes and is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. It helps me understand your experiences, challenges, and hopes, so we can shape the right support for you. It’s also a space for you to ask questions and decide whether this feels like the right fit for your journey.

I produce a report of the assessment which I can share with you, following the assessment the subsequent sessions are carried out weekly and are 50 minutes in duration.
