About me
Self-Discovery Psychotherapy
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle
There are moments in life when coping is no longer enough.
You may appear strong and capable on the outside, yet internally feel anxious, stuck, disconnected, or quietly exhausted. You may notice patterns repeating in relationships, difficulties with confidence or self-worth, or a sense that something from the past continues to shape your present.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and truly understand what is happening beneath the surface.
My name is Sanaz Mohebpour. I am an MBACP (Accredited) Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over fifteen years of clinical experience. My work is grounded in humanistic and psychodynamic principles, integrating person-centred therapy, transactional analysis, attachment-informed thinking and cognitive approaches where appropriate.
But more than models, I am interested in you as a whole person.
I work relationally and thoughtfully, paying attention not only to thoughts and behaviours, but also to unconscious patterns, emotional wounds, cultural identity, family history, spirituality, and the body’s responses to stress and trauma. Many of the difficulties we experience today have roots in earlier experiences that were never fully processed or understood.
Together we create a confidential, steady and non-judgemental space where you can:
Explore anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm
Understand repeating relationship patterns
Work through attachment wounds or past trauma
Strengthen self-esteem and identity
Navigate life transitions and cultural complexities
Develop greater emotional resilience and self-awareness
Some clients come for focused, time-limited work (6–12 sessions). Others choose longer-term therapy to engage in deeper exploration and lasting change.
My style is calm, attuned and reflective. I will not rush you, diagnose you prematurely, or offer surface solutions. Instead, I work at a pace that feels safe and containing, helping you build insight while strengthening your emotional capacity.
I undertake ongoing specialist training and engage in regular clinical supervision. I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice and hold full professional indemnity insurance.
Therapy is a courageous step. Finding the right therapist is equally important.
If you feel drawn to this approach, I welcome you to arrange an initial consultation so we can consider whether working together feels right for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
