About Nahid

Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of experience and a BACP registration. She trained in Transactional Analysis at Middlesex University and practises from a person-centred stance. Nahid speaks English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian and draws on her multicultural background in session.

Nahid keeps the room simple and direct. She aims to make people feel heard and respected. She balances empathy and acceptance with gentle reality checking and practical problem solving. Her style is straightforward and non-judgemental.

Clients come for many reasons, such as relationship stress, grief, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, trauma and issues around intimacy or self-worth. She also works with people facing career changes, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Nahid lists additional focuses including abandonment, adoption and family of origin problems, attachment issues and health-related stresses.

In practice she leans on client-centred listening alongside Transactional Analysis ideas. She also uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These help her tailor sessions to what each person needs.

Nahid aims to move at each person’s pace and avoids stigmatising labels. She says therapy should be authentic and collaborative, with the client’s experience at the centre. For those who choose to work with her, the goal is clearer thinking, steadier coping and more honest relationships.

How Nahid’s approaches translate to online work

Much of Nahid’s work rests on person-centred listening and Transactional Analysis ideas, which focus on understanding interactions and patterns in everyday life. Those methods aim to help people notice how they relate to others and make different choices when needed.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then focus on actions that match their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on recognising and naming emotions to improve connection and closeness in relationships. Both approaches support work on intimacy, attachment and responding to stress or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may blend elements from different approaches to meet changing needs.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. Different ways of meeting can also suit quieter exchanges or shorter practical check-ins, depending on personal circumstances.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
