About Behnam

Behnam Abdevand offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship strain. He introduces calm, steady guidance so clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on small steps that make everyday life easier and more manageable.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, or working on values and committed action to build a clearer direction.

Background and approach

For some people he uses talking techniques that centre the client and their experience. Behnam has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He speaks English and Persian and can support people from multicultural or migration backgrounds who want to address identity, guilt, shame or belonging.

Common issues he helps people with include relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting stresses, workplace pressures, anger, and depression. He also works with concerns such as attachment patterns, communication breakdowns, control issues, separation and divorce, and LGBT-related matters. In sessions he aims for a straightforward, respectful tone.

Conversations move at a pace the client chooses, with practical ideas to try between meetings. New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire that helps match them and then scheduling a first session.

How Behnam uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and tests new ways of responding in daily life. This approach often suits stress, panic, low mood and workplace worries.

The right approach is usually discovered together. Behnam talks with each person about their goals, personal preferences and past experiences. He then suggests a way forward and checks in regularly to adjust methods so they fit the client’s needs in a collaborative way.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people read tone and body language, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit a short check-in during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
