About Behnam
BACP. 7 years of experience. Behnam Abdevand works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, intimacy issues and LGBT matters. He also addresses parenting strain, anger, and workplace pressures using talking therapies he lists in his profile.
He describes his way of working as person-centred and practical.

Sessions are conducted in English and Persian. He works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
Clients can expect a collaborative style. Behnam aims to help people notice patterns, reduce unhelpful thoughts, and build small, achievable changes. He also offers support with attachment and communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, immigration and multicultural concerns, and separation or divorce matters.
His background includes seven years working with adults on a range of emotional and relational problems. He incorporates solution-focused techniques alongside longer conversations to set clear goals and review progress over time.
Online counselling approaches and what to expect
Behnam lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among his approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own perspective and aims to create conditions for clearer self-understanding and better decision making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more towards ACT, CBT or a client-centred way of working over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow quieter, focused check-ins and remove the need to travel. Telephone sessions can be used when video is difficult, and shorter check-ins can fit into a work break, but please check the available formats before scheduling.
