About Nagham

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. She aims to make sessions calm and approachable so people feel able to talk about difficult feelings and experiences.

She often helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, and with depression. She also supports people who are coping with grief, loss, trauma and abuse, and those facing relationship concerns. Pregnancy and childbirth is noted among her interests and may be discussed in sessions when relevant.

Nagham uses a psychodynamic way of working to look at patterns that repeat in a person’s life. She pays attention to how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. This can help identify long-running worries and where they come from.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape reactions to stress and relationships. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, practical goals and to build on strengths. Trauma-focused methods are applied when people need space to work through painful events at a manageable pace.

Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and personal. People are encouraged to set the pace and focus on what matters most to them. The therapist speaks English and Arabic and works from the United Kingdom.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and life events. Online work with this approach often focuses on noticing those patterns in day-to-day life and discussing them step by step to understand feelings and responses.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds affect how people relate now. In remote sessions this can mean talking through relationship reactions and practising different ways of connecting and communicating.

The therapist will help you find the best approach together. She will listen to your needs, goals and preferences, and suggest whether psychodynamic, attachment-based or solution-focused work is most useful. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to maintain continuity when life gets hectic. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
