Siamak Ehteshamzadeh, HCPC

Siamak Ehteshamzadeh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression. He works with people encountering midlife crisis concerns and a wide range of related issues, including abandonment, body image, and feelings of isolation. He greets new clients with straightforward language and a calm approach to make starting therapy less daunting.

He has five years of professional experience and holds HCPC registration, which is noted as his credential. In sessions he aims to build an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. He encourages people to take small, practical steps and to notice what works for them between meetings.

Siamak draws on several talking therapies to match what a person needs. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness-based work to tackle unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. He also uses therapies that focus on emotional connection and trauma processing where these are appropriate.

People often come with issues such as caregiver stress, divorce and separation, first responder pressures, hoarding, financial worries, or struggles with self-love. He adapts the pace and focus of sessions to suit each person’s situation and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

Sessions are offered in English and Persian. For people interested in starting, the typical route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the provided process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions where a person wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to change patterns that maintain distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression and managing day-to-day problems.

Finding the right method is usually a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working to see what feels helpful. Together they adapt techniques so the approach suits the person rather than the other way around.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and let people have sessions from a quieter spot. Some approaches work well in a conversation-focused video session while others may involve brief between-session exercises or shorter check-ins; the therapist will explain what to expect and tailor the plan to practical needs.
