Samiyah Javed , BACP

Samiyah Javed is a counsellor with three years of professional experience supporting people facing a range of mental health and life challenges. She works with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and motivation, as well as eating and sleeping problems and anger. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related concerns, career transitions and coping with major life changes, with additional focus on body image, communication problems, fertility and immigration issues, isolation and multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, self-harm, and young adult and women's issues.

Samiyah practices using a client-centered approach that prioritises the person's own perspective and pace. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. In sessions she aims to create an open, personal and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. Her goal is to help people feel heard, valued and supported as they take the often-difficult first steps toward change. Samiyah is accepting new clients and works with people both within the United Kingdom and internationally.

Client-Centered Support Online and Practical Access

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, focusing on listening, empathy and respect for an individual's experience. In practice this approach involves building a trusting relationship, reflecting the client's feelings and priorities, and helping them to explore their own solutions at a comfortable pace. It is well suited to people coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma responses, grief, and life transitions.

Samiyah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods feel most helpful. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt sessions accordingly so the therapeutic approach fits the client's situation rather than assuming a single path. This collaborative process helps identify the right way forward together with a licensed professional.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access support around work, family commitments or geographical limitations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them while maintaining continuity of care with their therapist.
