Nagham Alaraji
Understanding patterns to reduce distress
About Nagham
Nagham Alaraji offers psychodynamic and attachment-informed counselling aimed at helping people understand patterns that cause distress. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of clinical experience. Nagham speaks English and Arabic and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief and loss. Nagham draws on approaches that look at how early relationships and life events shape current feelings and reactions.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people notice repeating patterns and the emotions beneath them. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. The aim is to make sense of difficulties so practical steps can be tried between sessions.
Nagham uses psychodynamic ideas to uncover underlying themes and attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes and trauma-focused methods when past harm needs careful attention. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful topics.
Starting therapy can feel daunting and she encourages anyone considering help to take the next step when they feel ready.

How attachment and trauma approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations in relationships. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and practise different ways of responding to others.Psychodynamic work focuses on uncovering recurring themes and feelings that influence daily life. In remote sessions this often means reflecting on memories and current reactions together to bring more awareness and choice.
Nagham will collaborate with each person to choose the approach that fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and the nature of the difficulty to agree a plan. That plan can change as therapy progresses and as new needs emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or simple audio suits the person. Live chat and text sessions let people check in with shorter messages or keep a written record of reflections between meetings.
Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still working through attachment and trauma-related issues with a registered or accredited professional.
