About Siamak

Siamak Ehteshamzadeh is a counsellor registered with the HCPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression. He writes simply and directly, making the first steps into therapy easier to take. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and he works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Siamak aims to make therapy a place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without blame.

Background and approach

He focuses on listening closely and helping people name their emotions. From there he works with practical steps people can try between sessions. His approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape reactions.

He also uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take values-based actions. Over five years he has supported people dealing with specific concerns such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, divorce, first responder issues, hoarding and post-traumatic stress. He also addresses isolation, men’s issues, money worries and struggles with self-love.

Sessions can take different formats to suit someone’s life, including video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Siamak describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets goals and they work together to find what helps.

Online support

Emotion-focused and practical approaches online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in how people respond to strong feelings and to each other. It helps identify recurring emotional cycles and find new ways of relating that reduce conflict and distress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that reflect personal values. It suits people who want to live more in line with what matters to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing stressful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to weigh needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That decision can change as progress is made and different tools are introduced.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, chat can work for a quick check-in and messages suit people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and help maintain continuity between appointments.
