About Nagham

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience and works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.

She uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that show up again and again in their lives. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts, feelings and repeated reactions so people can make clearer choices about how to respond to difficult situations.

Nagham also draws on attachment-based work to look at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. This can be helpful for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and communication problems. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want practical steps and short-term goals to manage immediate problems.

She has worked with people facing bereavement, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, body image worries, and challenges linked to illness such as cancer. She also supports those coping with avoidant personality tendencies, codependency, commitment issues and other interpersonal difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and Nagham accepts international clients. If someone is unsure how to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session as the next step.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps by looking at patterns in feelings and relationships that repeat over time. Online sessions using this approach focus on talking through these patterns and understanding how past experiences influence current reactions.

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape ways of connecting now. In an online setting this can help people notice how they relate to others and practice different ways of communicating when they feel triggered.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and practical steps. These methods are useful when someone needs clear actions to manage anxiety, relationship stress or coping with loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process often starts in the first few sessions and can be adjusted over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent travelling to appointments. Ask about the practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire.
