About Nazanin Tayeby, Registered Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist in Doctoral Training

About Me

I am a BACP-registered→ Psychotherapist and a Counselling Psychologist in doctoral training (thesis submission pending). With a diverse background and extensive experience in various mental health settings, including the NHS and private services, I am well-equipped to support clients facing a range of emotional and relational challenges. My practice is informed by the latest research and therapeutic techniques, ensuring personalised care that empowers clients toward healing and growth.

My Professional Background

I apply my extensive knowledge and diverse experience to support clients by customising therapeutic approaches to fit their individual needs. With a background spanning over nine years in various mental health settings, including NHS and private services, I am equipped to address a wide range of challenges such as anxiety, trauma, and relational difficulties. My experience with complex cases, including neurodivergence and trauma, allows me to offer a comprehensive and thoughtful approach. As I continue my doctoral training in counselling psychology, I ensure my practice remains informed by the latest research and techniques. My goal is to guide clients through their struggles, helping them gain insight, develop coping strategies, and ultimately find lasting solutions that empower them to move forward.

Specialisms

I specialise in working with clients facing:

Common Challenges My Clients Face

Clients today face a variety of challenges, many of which are influenced by modern society, technology, systemic issues, financial and career pressures. However, the most common challenges I have witnessed in my work are relational difficulties, social isolation, communication challenges, lack of boundaries, and unhealthy relationship patterns.

My Approach to Therapy

I deeply value how individuals make sense of their experiences and navigate their lives. My approach is pluralistic, meaning I meet clients where they are psychologically by integrating different therapeutic perspectives based on their needs and preferences. These include, but are not limited to, person-centred therapy, psychodynamic theory, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. By drawing from these approaches, I aim to foster understanding, compassion, and healing.

I strive to create a safe, trusting, and respectful space where clients feel comfortable sharing their challenges. Through this collaborative environment, we work together to explore what may be most helpful for them. I recognise that therapy often involves discussing difficult memories and emotions, and I approach this with empathy, a non-judgmental stance, and an awareness of the importance of context and diversity.

What I Offer Clients


My approach to therapy is integrative and client-centered, drawing from person-centred therapy, psychodynamic theory, schema therapy, and cognitive-behavioural therapy to meet each individual's unique needs. With extensive experience across NHS, private, forensic, and charity sectors, I have worked with a wide range of mental health challenges, including trauma, personality disorders, and neurodivergence (Autism & ADHD). I create a safe, confidential, and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and patterns without judgment. Recognising the importance of context and diversity, I empower clients as the experts of their own lives, helping them navigate their unique journey with understanding, compassion, and tailored therapeutic support.

Creating a Safe Space for Clients

I only see clients online, which means I go out of my way to create a safe, non-judgmental space by building trust, actively listening, and validating clients’ experiences, recognising that the therapeutic relationship is central to effective treatment. A strong, collaborative bond fosters openness, self-exploration, and meaningful change. My approach is rooted in respect, confidentiality, and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to express themselves freely without fear of judgment. I empower them to navigate their journey at their own pace, fostering self-awareness and growth. With a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive perspective, I adapt my approach to each individual’s unique background and needs, ensuring a supportive and compassionate therapeutic environment.
