About Syed
Syed Muhammad Intisar Mehdi is an AASW social worker with five years of practice helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma or depression. He speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and aims to make the first step feel achievable for anyone who reaches out.
He works in a calm, respectful way and starts by listening to each person’s story. He sees clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon or long lectures. Syed uses a mix of tried approaches such as client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. He introduces techniques in simple language and practises them together with the person in session so they feel practical and usable afterwards.
His caseload has included people coping with loss, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, body image and attachment struggles. He also supports people dealing with major life changes such as separation, caregiving stress and serious illness. People who choose him can expect respectful listening, collaborative goal-setting and follow-up steps to practise between sessions.
He invites anyone ready to begin to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Syed commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing alongside client-centred therapy. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical techniques to reduce anxiety or low mood. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories to lower their emotional charge and can be helpful after trauma. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, validation and helping the person find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and comfort. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, short live chats are useful for quick check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving or other commitments and to keep regular contact with an appropriately qualified therapist.
