Life’s big questions can feel heavy when you face them on your own. I offer a compassionate space to explore meaning, values, and the future you want to create. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, I can help you explore what you most long for and work towards it in a way that fits your circumstances and abilities.

About me
Hello, my name is Ghazaleh Ghazanfari, a counselling psychologist in training at Middlesex University, a fully accredited psychotherapist with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and a researcher in the humanities and social sciences. I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), complying with the UK data protection laws.
I have extensive experience working therapeutically with adults across a range of settings, offering support for a wide range of life challenges and emotional struggles. I have worked with clients experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and low self-esteem.
How I work
My approach is existential, offering a space for you to reflect on your values, relationships, and emotional world, and to deepen your understanding of yourself within the context of your life. This process can help clarify what truly matters to you and support you in moving towards it. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques where they may be helpful, and my way of working is attachment-informed.
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. My role is not to impose change, but to help you connect with your own priorities, resources, and possibilities, so you can make choices that feel authentic and meaningful to you.
I am based in London and offer online therapy sessions in English and Farsi (Persian).
