Farhad Robinson, NCPS

Farhad Robinson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He supports those dealing with relationship or intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, and career or self-esteem issues. He also works with people coping with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Farhad uses a client-centred stance. That means he focuses on listening, empathy and building trust first. He aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful so people can talk about what matters to them.

In practice he draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and feelings. He uses that alongside person-focused work to keep sessions grounded and relevant to present-day problems. Conversations often link past experiences with current challenges to make sense of recurring reactions.

His approach is adaptable rather than rigid. Sessions can focus on practical coping strategies, making sense of painful emotions, or exploring deeper patterns depending on what a person needs. He tailors the pace and focus to each person’s situation.

Farhad holds NCPS credentials and has three years of experience. He offers work in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules and preferences.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and acceptance. The counsellor focuses on understanding a person’s experience and reflecting it back to help with self-awareness and decision-making. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and many everyday stresses.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in relationships and emotions. It helps people connect current struggles to earlier experiences and understand why certain reactions keep happening. This can be useful for issues like attachment problems, abandonment, codependency and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then adapt techniques from these approaches. Work can shift over time to suit changing priorities and progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around a busy life.
