Nagham Alaraji , BACP

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor who draws on short-term, focused methods alongside longer-term work. She uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that shape their feelings and relationships. Nagham speaks English and Arabic and practises from the United Kingdom.

Nagham helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse. Relationship concerns and the emotional effects of loss are common topics in her sessions.

In the consulting room she encourages open conversation without judgement. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and talk through. She often blends exploration of past patterns with practical steps to manage day-to-day distress.

Her toolkit includes attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches alongside solution-focused techniques. That mix lets Nagham look at how past connections affect present life while also setting clear, short-term goals. People often work on improving communication, reducing anxiety, or coping with change.

Nagham has three years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She understands taking the first step can feel hard and tries to make the process straightforward and supportive. Practical scheduling and accessible language are part of how she works.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from earlier life and relationships that continue to shape feelings today; it can help when anxiety, depression or repeated relationship problems feel stuck. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how connection and closeness affect wellbeing and can be useful for people working through trust, abandonment or attachment issues.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Nagham will work with each person to decide which methods to use, balancing exploration of past patterns with clear, practical steps. Together they set goals and review progress to find what helps most for that person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, written reflections when that suits them. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or travel.
