About Farhad

Farhad Robinson is a counsellor who helps people facing eating and food-related issues alongside stress, anxiety and mood concerns. He meets people with empathy and without judgement, aiming to create a space where they can talk frankly about what feels hard. His style is flexible and focused on the person sitting in front of him.

Farhad uses a client-centred way of working as his core approach. That means sessions start with the client's experience and priorities, and he adapts his responses to what each person needs in the moment. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, such as attachment and abandonment themes.

In practical terms he listens for how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. This can help with body image, self-esteem, intimacy concerns and relationship difficulties. He speaks plainly and helps people name the patterns they notice.

Farhad holds NCPS as his listed credential. He has three years' experience working with a range of concerns including trauma, ADHD, sleep problems, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. He works in English and accepts international clients.

People who choose him can expect a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all programme. He encourages questions about how therapy will run and works collaboratively to set goals and review progress as therapy continues.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. This approach can be useful for mood, self-esteem and eating concerns where understanding the person's perspective is key.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time, including attachment and abandonment themes. It helps people recognise long-standing emotional dynamics and how these affect current relationships and behaviour. This can be helpful for issues such as intimacy, body image and repeated cycles of shame or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Farhad will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match those aims. He treats the choice of method as collaborative and reviews what is or is not helpful as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from a quieter place or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
