About Fariba
Fariba Shahbakhti-Warrington is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship difficulty. She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence, addiction and parenting strains. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Fariba uses a person-centred style that aims to make clients feel heard and respected. She combines Jungian therapy ideas with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work.
Background and approach
Meetings tend to focus on understanding emotions, patterns in relationships, and small steps clients can use between sessions. Her background includes three years of recent experience as recorded here and a BACP credential. That registration is noted as part of her professional details.
Fariba’s approach is straightforward and conversational. She helps people map what matters and try different ways of coping. Therapy can cover a range of issues such as eating problems, intimacy-related worries, control issues, divorce and separation, and self-harm concerns.
She also supports people with LGBT matters and women’s issues. Conversations look at both current stresses and longer patterns that influence feelings and choices. Sessions may include reflection on personal history, exploring feelings and relationships, and learning practical techniques for calming and problem solving.
Fariba works collaboratively to set goals and review progress in ways that fit each person’s life and preferences.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams and life stories to help people find meaning and notice repeating patterns. It can be useful when someone wants to understand deeper themes in their life and relationships.Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. This approach helps when problems show up as trust issues, emotional distance or repeated conflict in close relationships.
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and uses listening, reflection and acceptance to help people feel understood and decide on next steps. It suits those who want a supportive, non-directive space to talk things through.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk about the options, check what feels most helpful, and adapt methods to match a person's needs and goals.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
