About Arham
Arham Abtahi is a counsellor who blends relationship-focused work with practical, person-centred care. She draws on six years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, loss and other life changes. Her approach aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for someone feeling overwhelmed.
Her work is rooted in how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how those influence trust, intimacy and boundaries.
Background and approach
She will listen for patterns such as abandonment fears, codependency or avoidant tendencies and talk through how they show up now. Sessions use a mix of client-centred listening and goal-focused conversations. Mindfulness techniques and motivational questioning are used where helpful to build awareness and find small practical changes.
The aim is to help people notice what matters, try new ways of relating, and practise coping skills between sessions. Arham has supported people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, dissociation and difficult family histories. She also helps with self-esteem, body image, career decisions and anger.
Her background in a culturally complex context informs a sensitive, respectful way of working. People who come to her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. Therapy is presented as a collaboration, with the client’s goals guiding each step.
She encourages steady progress and practical steps that fit everyday life.
How attachment work and client-centred care translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions explore patterns of closeness, trust and boundaries, helping people spot repeating behaviours and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and helping clients set their own goals.Mindfulness-based techniques are used to bring attention to bodily sensations and present-moment experience, which can reduce reactivity and aid emotional regulation between sessions. The therapist will combine these approaches as needed and will discuss with the client which mix feels most useful. Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together based on the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let people check in quickly or keep a regular thread of reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping continuity with a single counsellor.
