About Siamak

Siamak Ehteshamzadeh is an HCPC-registered practitioner in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and he accepts international clients.

Siamak uses clear, action-focused conversations to help people name what feels hard and to try different ways of responding. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work with feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Practical steps and short exercises are used in-session when they suit the person’s goals.

People bring a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, first responder issues, hoarding, isolation or loneliness, men’s issues, midlife questions, money worries, post-traumatic stress and building self-regard. Siamak talks through current difficulties and helps people set simple, realistic goals to reduce overwhelm.

He frames sessions as collaborative conversations rather than lectures. When appropriate, techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing are introduced to address emotional regulation and traumatic memories. The focus is on what people can try between sessions to notice differences in daily life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Fees vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people put words to difficult feelings and to notice patterns in how they respond emotionally. Online sessions can use EFT-style conversations to map those patterns and try new ways of relating to feelings and to others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. In online sessions ACT techniques often include short exercises and behavioural experiments to practice between meetings.

Siamak treats the choice of approach as a joint decision. He will help clients compare methods and pick what fits their needs and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, and the plan is adjusted together.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or caring duties, and some use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Confirm the available session formats when you arrange the first appointment so you know how therapy will fit into everyday life.
