About Siamak
Siamak Ehteshamzadeh is a counsellor registered with the HCPC in the United Kingdom. He has five years of professional experience supporting people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. He also offers help for a range of related issues such as money and financial issues, isolation and caregiver stress. Siamak speaks English and Persian and works with international clients.
In sessions he aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is troubling them. He invites honest discussion of thoughts and feelings and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. He encourages small, achievable changes rather than big, immediate fixes.
His work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That means sessions may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning breathing and grounding skills, and working through distressing memories at a pace the client chooses. He adapts these tools to each person’s situation.
Siamak is mindful that starting therapy can feel scary. He emphasises collaboration and supports people to build their own coping skills. He aims to help clients feel clearer about their options and more able to manage day-to-day challenges, including practical pressures like money and financial issues.
People are encouraged to be honest about their goals from the first session. Siamak will work with each person to set achievable aims and check progress as therapy continues.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn which values they want to act on. Online ACT often uses short exercises in session and practical tasks between meetings to build small changes over time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills for managing worry and low mood. Delivered remotely, CBT can include structured worksheets, thought records and agreed behavioural experiments you try in everyday life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce distress tied to past traumatic memories by working through them in a measured way. When EMDR techniques are used online, the therapist and client agree a steady pace and clear check-ins to make sure each step feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time and using a quieter check-in when days are busy. Session formats are not specified here, so it is best to confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the length and focus of meetings to make therapy easier to maintain alongside daily life.
