About Constance

Constance Farahmand-Afshar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and trauma. Her aim is to offer steady, respectful help when life feels hard or confusing.

Constance draws on client-centred work to make sessions feel collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps set short-term goals that fit each person's life. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes.

Background and approach

Trauma-focused approaches are used when past harm affects day-to-day life, with an emphasis on safety and pacing rather than rushed fixes. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, especially with substance use or routine shifts. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover recurring patterns that leave people stuck.

Constance works in short, clear conversations. She tailors the dialogue and the plan to the individual's needs. The focus is on small steps that lead to a more manageable routine and improved coping.

She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How Constance's approaches translate to online therapy

Constance uses trauma-focused work to help when past harm continues to affect daily life; this involves careful pacing and building skills to manage distress. Client-centred therapy is a core part of her practice and means conversations are guided by the person's priorities, with the counsellor reflecting and supporting rather than directing. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes to routines and behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Constance will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods together. That conversation helps decide whether short-term focused techniques, trauma-focused pacing, or deeper exploratory work is the best fit for the individual's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face style conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving forward even when schedules change.
