About Behnam
Behnam Abdevand is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on depression, stress and anxiety. He speaks English and Persian and works in ways that help people feel understood and steady. Behnam aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone worried about their life or relationships.
He usually begins by listening carefully to what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses practical conversations to map patterns of thought and behaviour.
Background and approach
When helpful, he introduces strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment therapy to build values-based action. Behnam also draws on client-centred ways of working so sessions stay focused on the person's own priorities. For people carrying past hurt or trauma, he may suggest eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing to process distressing memories.
He tailors the pace and tools to each person rather than following a fixed script. With seven years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, he brings steady practice experience to common problems such as low self-esteem, relationship tension and workplace stress. He also helps with issues around immigration, multicultural concerns, guilt, shame and parenting strain.
Sessions are offered through a range of online formats. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match a person with a suitable plan, then sessions are scheduled to fit practical needs.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That decision is based on the client's needs, goals and how comfortable they feel with different techniques, and it can change over time.
Online therapy is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to match appointments to a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat sessions suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options support flexible, ongoing work without needing to travel.
