About Nahid
Nahid Aghili is a BACP counsellor with 17 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She trained in Transactional Analysis at Middlesex University and lists relationship, family and parenting among her main concerns. She also works with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma and a wide range of related issues.
Nahid uses a person-centred stance alongside Transactional Analysis. She aims to build a straightforward, respectful therapeutic relationship. Sessions focus on listening, clear feedback and practical problem solving when needed.
Her background spans several cultures; she grew up with a Persian heritage and lived in Florence before moving to London in the 1980s. She speaks English, Persian and Italian and brings that life experience into conversations about identity and family ties.
In practice she balances empathy and acceptance with reality checking. That means clients are heard, while also looking at actions and choices that can shift difficult patterns. She avoids labels and keeps the work practical and grounded.
Common topics she supports people with include attachment concerns, parenting strain, intimacy questions, family of origin problems, abandonment and issues that follow illness such as cancer or HIV. She also works with stress, career worries, sleeping problems, anger and compassion fatigue.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, so plans can change as life changes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current ways of relating and can help when attachment issues, intimacy concerns or family of origin patterns are causing pain.Nahid approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to test what feels most useful, adjust the focus over time, and keep the practical aims in view. The choice of approach depends on the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.
Confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to join from different locations. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for conversation without being on camera when that suits the individual. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as ACT and attachment-focused work to remote sessions to help address relationship stress, parenting strain, grief and trauma-related concerns.
