Siamak Ehteshamzadeh, HCPC

Siamak Ehteshamzadeh helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tensions, trauma and depression. He greets new clients with calm and straightforward care. Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and he works with international clients from the United Kingdom.

Siamak uses plain talk to make therapy feel manageable. He aims to build a space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most and practical steps to reduce overwhelm.

His work draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and trauma-focused methods. That means sessions may include noticing unhelpful patterns, learning small experiments to test new behaviours, and processing painful memories when needed.

With five years of professional experience and HCPC registration, Siamak combines practical tools with empathic listening. He pays attention to issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiving strain, hoarding, loneliness, and money worries alongside core concerns like post-traumatic stress and relationship pain.

Therapy sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit around work and family life. Siamak encourages clients to set clear, realistic goals and to try straightforward steps between sessions. He supports people as they build skills to manage emotions and move forward at their own pace.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people identify what matters and take small steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and action-based exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to test them. Online sessions often include practical worksheets, short behavioural experiments and clear homework to make change between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can help reduce the intensity of painful memories. In online sessions it is adapted so that a therapist can guide bilateral stimulation and processing while you remain in your chosen setting.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest one or a combination of methods. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person's needs.

Online formats - video, phone, live chat and text messaging - make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when a lower-bandwidth option or hands-free format is needed. Live chat and text messaging can work for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving or steady support between longer sessions.
