About Nahid
Nahid Aghili is a counsellor who trained with a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis from Middlesex University. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings 17 years of practice experience and speaks English, Persian and Italian.
She begins by building a steady, respectful relationship. She believes being heard and valued matters most. Sessions include listening, reflection, plain reality checking and practical problem solving.
Background and approach
Nahid blends a person-centred stance with Transactional Analysis ideas. That means she focuses on the client’s experience and on patterns that repeat in relationships. She uses those ideas to help people notice what keeps causing pain and to try different ways of relating.
Her work often addresses anxiety, stress and depression alongside relationship and family concerns. Other areas she supports include grief, parenting issues, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties. She also works with career strain, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem struggles.
Sessions are conversational and down to earth. Nahid aims to both follow what the client brings and gently challenge unhelpful patterns. She does not use labels to shame; instead she offers clear, respectful feedback and practical steps to try.
People who prefer a calm, patient counsellor who speaks English, Persian or Italian may find her approach helpful. Her long experience includes work in the United Kingdom and living abroad, which informs a culturally aware way of working.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It helps clients clarify what matters most and take small actions towards those values, which can reduce avoidance and worry.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand recurring dynamics in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together you decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means techniques can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
