Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained with a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis studies from Middlesex University in London. She speaks English, Persian (Farsi), and Italian.
Nahid works in a person-centred way and draws on Transactional Analysis ideas. She focuses on building a genuine relationship where people feel heard and respected. Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, with room for both empathy and straightforward problem solving.
Background and approach
People come to her for relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, grief and loss, mood difficulties such as depression and anxiety, and stress. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.
Her additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric concerns, cancer-related challenges, and complex feelings like guilt, shame and emptiness. She also works with communication and control issues, dependent personality features, and HIV / AIDS related matters. Nahid describes her role as both guide and companion in therapy.
She aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels right. Therapy sessions combine listening, validation and practical steps to help people make changes and cope with life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating. This work often helps with intimacy issues, abandonment feelings and family of origin problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and the therapeutic relationship itself; it gives people space to be heard and to find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions and to keep therapy consistent even when life is busy or travel is difficult.
