About Constance

Constance Farahmand-Afshar is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. She works with people struggling with self-esteem, motivation and life changes. Constance aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for those who are nervous about starting therapy.

Constance has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She tailors conversations and plans to each person, using plain language and practical steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach

In sessions she combines client-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and brief solution-focused work. That means time is given to understanding the person first, then trying practical ways to change thoughts and actions that get in the way.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and uses motivational interviewing when people are weighing up big changes like reducing substance use. These methods are used alongside an emphasis on collaboration and clear goals.

Constance helps with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic pain and caregiver strain. She also supports people facing depression, bipolar mood challenges and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Ways of working Constance names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that work well online

Constance uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. This approach helps build trust and sets the direction of therapy based on what matters to the individual.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Constance will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means therapy can adapt as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around work or caring commitments. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings.
