About Nahid

Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of experience. She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis studies from Middlesex University and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She speaks English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian, and draws on a person-centred stance to create a respectful space for people to talk through hard things.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. She combines listening with practical checking-in and problem solving to help people take steps that fit their life. This includes support for anger, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties.

Nahid describes the therapeutic relationship as central to change. She balances empathy and unconditional positive regard with gentle reality checking. That blend means sessions can hold feelings while also looking at practical ways forward for issues like parenting, communication problems, career worries and sleep struggles.

She also works with trauma, attachment concerns and compassion fatigue, and has experience supporting people through adoption, abandonment and family of origin issues. Her background living in different countries informs a cross-cultural sensitivity she brings to sessions.

Sessions progress at the client’s pace. People who want a thoughtful listener alongside clear steps for change may find her style helpful. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and schedule a session.

How Nahid’s approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect present-day connections, which can help with intimacy and family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nahid will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences. She uses the chosen tools together with careful listening and practical problem solving so clients can try things in a way that fits their life.

Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are available. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes multilingual access simpler for those who prefer English, Italian or Persian. Discuss practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions match your everyday needs and goals.
