Semeyra Sarwar

Hello, I'm Semeyra, a BACP accredited counsellor. Thank you for reading my profile. Reaching out for help is not always easy but by considering therapy you have taken the first steps towards overcoming the difficulties you are currently experiencing.

As an experienced counsellor, I will be able to work with you to understand your current situation in greater depth. Most importantly, I have the experience and skills gained from several years of working directly with clients going through a range of personal difficulties, to enable you to move forward with your life.

I am very experienced at working with people both short and long term, to make changes in their lives and break free from difficult patterns or repetitive behaviour that might have been holding them back.

In my work with you, I will provide a safe and supportive therapeutic setting, where we can work together to understand the issues that have brought you to therapy and find ways of moving forward.

I have a special interest in working with people around relationships issues (including difficult and repetitive relationship patterns, coping with relationship break-ups, difficulties around intimacy) as well as family issues and difficulties related to cultural identity.

As well as my special interests I am also very experienced and able to work with a wide range of other issues including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, trauma, past abusive experiences, illness.

I incorporate a range of different methods in my work; as well as traditional models of counselling and talking therapy, I also bring mindfulness principles into my work when appropriate.
