About Sarvin

Sarvin Afarinesh offers a calm, practical way to work through painful issues. She helps people reconnect with themselves to find what they need to live more fulfilling lives. Sarvin uses a warm, engaging style that is gentle but curious, so sessions stay focused and grounded.

She is a BACP member with eleven years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. Sarvin describes her work as integrative and intuitive, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic and existential ideas alongside body-focused methods.

Background and approach

In sessions she looks at thoughts, feelings, bodily experience and behaviour together to spot patterns and make sense of what keeps someone stuck. Sarvin encourages creative expression when it helps, such as drawing, writing or using objects and imagination to access feelings.

Her practice pays attention to identity and cultural difference, and she aims to help people build a stronger relationship with themselves so they can face challenges with more confidence. People commonly come for help with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, bereavement and life changes.

Sarvin also works with concerns such as body image, codependency, attachment and difficulties linked to chronic illness or pain. Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and international clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients use the platform's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Sarvin works online

Client-Centred Therapy is about offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the client’s experience guides the pace of work. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to make choices from a clearer sense of self. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns rooted in past relationships and early experiences to understand current difficulties and recurring feelings. It can be useful for work on attachment, repeating patterns and identity questions. Somatic Therapy brings attention to the body and its signals, using simple body awareness to release tension and connect feelings with physical experience; this can help with trauma, anxiety and chronic pain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Sessions evolve based on what helps the person feel safer, clearer and more able to act in their life.

Confirm the session formats before booking because specific options are not fully detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions from different time zones when international arrangements are needed. Some people prefer voice-only conversations to reduce the need to be on camera, while others use video to read facial cues and body language; the therapist and client will choose what works best for day-to-day life.
