About Nahid

Nahid Aghili works on relationship issues, family concerns, grief, parenting, depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related difficulties. She uses a person-centred approach alongside Transactional Analysis principles, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 17 years of experience working with people from different backgrounds.

Nahid trained to a postgraduate level in Transactional Analysis at Middlesex University in London. She describes therapy as an authentic, relational process where being heard and understood is important. Her style blends listening with gentle reality checking and practical problem solving to support change.

She communicates in English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian, reflecting her background living in Florence and later moving to London in the 1980s. Her experience includes helping people with issues such as intimacy, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties.

Nahid also works with people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, family of origin problems, and ageing and geriatric issues. Other areas she lists include cancer, HIV/AIDS, commitment and control issues, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.

Her sessions aim to combine empathy with clear, practical steps when helpful. She sees her role as sometimes leading and sometimes following, adjusting pace to the person in front of her. To begin, people are asked to use the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in those thoughts. It can be useful for ongoing worry, low mood and life changes that feel overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns and family of origin problems by exploring how past relationships affect present ones.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree a route together, matching methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering alternatives when being on camera is difficult. Many registered or accredited professionals use online work to increase flexibility for people juggling work, family and health demands.
