Zarmeena Afridi

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a registered practitioner psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council UK (HCPC) and over 15 years of professional experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals traverse the complexities of depression, trauma, anxiety, phobias, grief, and bereavement. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration: while I bring tools and insights to support you, it is you who leads the journey toward healing and resilience. Together, we will explore the resources that empower you to confront life’s challenges with greater confidence and self-understanding.

I have had the privilege of working across a variety of settings, from hospitals, community programs, and emergency response teams to substance abuse and rehabilitation centers, as well as research and public health and policy initiatives. These diverse experiences have allowed me to support clients from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, enriching my understanding of the unique needs and strengths each individual brings to therapy.

In my practice, I draw on evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness. Empathy is at the core of my work, and I tailor each session to the specific goals and needs of each person, ensuring a personalized approach that respects their journey and growth.

My own life has been shaped by experiences of loss, grief, anxiety, and personal setbacks. I understand the weight of such challenges on a personal level, and I have found strength in overcoming these obstacles. If I could stand back up, I believe that you can too—with the right support and guidance.

Together, we will work to illuminate the path forward, uncovering strategies that help you embrace life’s possibilities, even in difficult times. Reaching out for support is a brave first step, and I am here to walk alongside you, helping you find clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating significant life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A key advantage is flexibility – people can connect in the format that best suits them, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the method that feels most comfortable. All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy can therefore offer effective clinical support while adapting to individual needs and practical constraints.
