About Behnam
Behnam Abdevand is a counsellor who focuses on work and wellbeing and everyday pressures that get in the way of life. He helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and challenges that come from immigration and multicultural settings.
Behnam draws on seven years' experience in the United Kingdom and uses practical, straightforward ways to help people. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and find small, useful steps they can take. He listens with warmth and encourages honest conversation about goals and hurdles.
He commonly uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These shape how he and a client plan short-term goals, try new behaviours and reflect on what is important in life. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and Imago Relationship Therapy are also part of his toolkit when appropriate.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through practical problems like workplace stress, family conflict and communication difficulties. Behnam works with issues such as guilt and shame, control struggles, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian. He is registered with the BACP, and works from the UK. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Behnam uses practical therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters in their life and take small committed steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing simple changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the process by offering non-judgemental listening and reflecting so they can reach their own insights and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That makes the plan collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the profile does not list formats. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or family responsibilities. When choosing a format, people often consider factors like whether they prefer to see the counsellor on camera, want a shorter phone check-in, or need sessions that fit a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals can explain these practical details during the first contact.
