   About Siamak

   Siamak Ehteshamzadeh is a UK-based counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression. He speaks English and Persian and brings five years of professional experience to sessions. He aims to make the first step feel less scary and to help people move forward at a pace that suits them.

   In work with clients he creates an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with practical steps to try between meetings. He listens for what matters most to each person and helps turn that into small, manageable changes.

   Siamak uses approaches that encourage acceptance of difficult feelings and clear goals for change. He draws on techniques from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioural methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also uses emotion-focused ideas to help people understand and repair upsetting relationship patterns.

   For those dealing with past harm or frightening memories, he references trauma-sensitive methods to help reduce their impact over time. He recognises concerns such as abandonment, body image struggles, caregiver stress, hoarding, loneliness and post-traumatic stress and makes these part of the conversation when relevant.

   Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and he works with people both inside and outside the UK. He describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages anyone curious to take the first step and explore whether his way of working fits their needs.

2. How this approach works online and in therapy

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses curious, non-confrontational questions to draw out strengths and build momentum for small steps forward. This can suit people who feel stuck or uncertain about taking action.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and ongoing stress where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and encourages practical experiments to test unhelpful beliefs, which can help with anxiety and low mood.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.
   
   The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to arrange meetings across time zones for international clients, while the therapist will discuss how best to structure sessions to suit each person's circumstances.
