About Nahid

Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years' 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. Nahid speaks English, Persian (Farsi), and Italian, and brings a straightforward, respectful manner to sessions.

She follows a person-centred approach while using Transactional Analysis ideas. That means she focuses on listening, empathy and treating people as individuals. She aims to create a space where people feel heard, valued and not judged.

Nahid balances warmth with practical guidance. She will reflect feelings and also offer reality checking and problem solving when helpful. This combination supports people who want to talk things through and also work towards change.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy issues, grief and loss, parenting strains, depression, anxiety, stress and trauma. She also works with matters such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career concerns.

Nahid describes her role as both a leader and a follower in therapy. She moves at each person’s pace and avoids stigmatising labels. She encourages people who are ready to explore a more fulfilling life to begin the process and offers a collaborative way of working.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters most rather than trying to control every feeling.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It is useful for people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties, and it helps explore new ways of connecting and regulating emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. That process can include trying different ways of working and agreeing on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and help people keep appointments during work breaks or when managing caregiving duties. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged and what to expect.
