Sarvin Afarinesh

Sarvin Afarinesh offers a warm, engaging approach to understanding what causes emotional pain and distress. She focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves to identify what they need to live a more fulfilling life.

She is a multicultural, integrative and intuitive psychotherapist whose work combines psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and body psychotherapy approaches with intuition and creative methods. In practice she explores thoughts, emotions, bodily experience and behaviour with curiosity and compassion, attending to a person’s relationships with themselves and others, their needs and their values to identify what keeps them stuck and why.

Sarvin aims to help people understand themselves as whole individuals and to feel empowered to shape the life they want. She welcomes creative forms of expression in therapy, including drawing, writing, working with objects, and imaginative or intuitive exercises.

She has 11 years of clinical experience and sees clients privately, with a particular interest in identity and cultural difference. She offers online sessions by video or voice call.

Sarvin is a BACP registered member (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and is accredited by the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy), and she adheres to their professional code of ethics.

Her qualifications include a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (Minster Centre), a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology (BPS), a Certificate in Counselling Skills, a BA in Psychology, a Certificate in Art Therapy, a Certificate in Integrative Arts and a Certificate in Couples Counselling.
