Sarvin Afarinesh
Warm integrative therapy with creative tools
About Sarvin
Sarvin Afarinesh offers a calm, straightforward way to work through painful feelings. She helps people reconnect with themselves so they can make clearer choices and feel more fulfilled. Sessions are practical and warm, and she uses creativity when it seems useful.
Sarvin mixes talking work with attention to the body and everyday behaviour. She asks about thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and actions to spot patterns that keep someone stuck. Together they map how past experiences show up in current relationships and choices.
Background and approach
Creative tools such as drawing, writing or using objects may be used when helpful. These options are offered alongside conversational therapy for people who prefer to reflect with words. The focus is on finding what helps each person feel more in charge of their life.
She brings 11 years of experience working across cultural differences and identity issues. Sarvin is a BACP member, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards. Sarvin has formal training in integrative psychotherapy and counselling plus diplomas and certificates in psychology, art therapy and related areas.
That background supports flexible, tailored sessions that reflect each person’s needs. Online appointments are available by video or voice call. People can expect a compassionate, practical process aimed at clearer self-understanding and steps they can use between sessions.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they feel heard and can discover their own answers; it often helps with low self-esteem, relationship questions and life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences influence present patterns, helping people understand repeated behaviours and emotions that cause distress. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations as part of emotional work and can be useful for trauma, anxiety and stress when feelings show up in the body.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest one or a blend of approaches. This decision is reviewed over time so the work stays focused on what the person wants to change or understand.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and ways of working, while keeping the therapeutic focus on progress and practical steps.
