About Samiyah

Samiyah Javed is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through everyday mental health struggles. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Samiyah presents herself as warm and non-judgemental so people can talk openly about what matters to them.

She uses a client-centred approach that aims to listen first and follow the client’s lead. Sessions are offered in English and Samiyah holds BACP, which is shown as her professional registration. She has three years of experience supporting people with a wide range of issues including trauma, addictions, grief and intimacy-related problems.

Samiyah also supports people with body image and eating and food-related issues. She helps those coping with life changes such as fertility or immigration stress, postpartum depression and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Communication problems and workplace stress are part of the practical concerns she addresses.

In sessions she focuses on hearing what a person needs and creating space for honest conversation. The aim is to build trust and help people explore options and next steps at a pace that suits them. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

For someone thinking about counselling, Samiyah emphasises that starting therapy requires courage and that deciding to try is an important step. Prospective clients are invited to begin by following the site’s sign-up process and completing the initial matching questionnaire.

How Client-Centred Work Fits with Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It involves the counsellor listening carefully, reflecting what they hear and following the client’s priorities. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns by giving space for people to identify what matters most to them.

The approach is simple and collaborative: the counsellor supports the person to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Together they decide what to focus on and how to work towards small, practical changes that matter to the person.

Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit more easily into a busy life. Please confirm the exact session options available before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend from different locations, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients choose the session rhythm and format that suit their goals, schedules and preferences.
