Fariba Shahbakhti-Warrington is a United Kingdom-based therapist who works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, addictions, family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder and coping with life changes. She also offers support to LGBT clients and to gay and older adults, and presents as a female, non-religious and liberal practitioner.
She has 3 years of experience providing therapeutic services and holds a master’s degree along with an Advanced Diploma accredited by CPCAB. Fariba is registered with MBACP and is a CMC mediator.
Her practice is grounded in a humanistic, person-centred orientation. She primarily uses solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, and also draws on existential and trauma-informed approaches when appropriate.
Fariba aims to offer a safe, affirmative and accepting space for people seeking help, working collaboratively to identify goals and practical ways forward.
Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be similarly effective to traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging. This makes it far easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain consistency over time.
Therapy offered this way is delivered by licensed professionals and experienced therapists, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, evidence-based route to support with everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
