About Behnam
Behnam Abdevand helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or stuck in difficult relationships. He works with worries about self-esteem, parenting, intimacy and anger. He also supports people facing depression, LGBT concerns and problems linked to immigration and multicultural life.
Behnam is based in the United Kingdom and has seven years of experience. He holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. Behnam keeps sessions simple and practical.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps clients spot patterns that keep causing pain. Together they set clear, small goals and try techniques that fit the person's life. Sessions are conversational and aimed at real, usable change.
He uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on what really matters to a person and on taking action in line with those values.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when past events are still causing strong emotions. Behnam pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape problems. He helps with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation concerns, and family problems that affect one person.
He also works with feelings of guilt, shame and low self-love. Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. The emphasis is on practical tools that fit a busy life, so people can try new ways of relating and coping between sessions.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote CBT the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical exercises and behavioural experiments between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when past events still provoke strong reactions. Online EMDR adapts the protocol to remote formats so clients can work through difficult memories with guided processing.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, test what feels effective and adjust based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This means therapy is tailored rather than fixed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see body language and use worksheets on screen. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking.
