About Constance
Constance Farahmand-Afshar is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction and the aftermath of trauma or abuse. She also supports people coping with grief, low self‑esteem, life changes and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Constance works in plain language and makes space for people to tell their story at their own pace.
Constance holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Her work often addresses issues such as codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, and concerns around substance misuse or addictive behaviours.
Her approach is collaborative. Conversations shape the focus, and Constance draws on a mix of methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. She can offer practical tools for managing anxiety and mood, and gentle exploration when past events still affect day-to-day life.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful. Constance listens for what matters most to the person sitting with her, then helps set achievable goals and next steps. She encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence over time.
If someone wants to begin, they can use the site process to match with her, answer a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability. This lets people start from a clear first step when they are ready.
Approaches that translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own answers rather than being told what to do. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood through small, manageable changes. Motivational Interviewing uses questions and reflection to help people find motivation for change, which can be useful for addictions or habit change.Finding the right method is part of the work. Constance will discuss goals and preferences with the person and try approaches that match their needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as things progress.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use techniques and homework between sessions to build new habits in everyday life.
