Nagham Alaraji, BACP

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor who draws on that approach to help people make sense of current struggles. She uses straightforward, conversational sessions to help clients talk through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. Nagham works in English and Arabic and practices in the United Kingdom.

She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. That often means naming patterns in relationships and feelings that keep returning.

Her work commonly focuses on depression, coping with loss, and the after-effects of abuse or trauma. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and the stresses that come with caring roles. Ageing and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focus areas.

Nagham uses a mix of psychodynamic thinking and other approaches to suit each person's needs. She tends to help clients notice how past experiences shape present choices and then set small, practical steps forward. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

Starting therapy with her involves a brief assessment to match goals with approach. That helps shape a plan that feels manageable and realistic, whether someone needs short-term problem-solving or a longer conversation about recurring patterns.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences affect feelings today. Online sessions with this approach often focus on patterns people notice in their relationships and how those patterns show up now.

Attachment-Based Therapy centres on closeness and connection. It helps people understand their attachment style and build more secure ways of relating, which can be useful for relationship stress and caregiving strains.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals and preferences and then suggest which approach or blend might work best. Decisions about pacing and practical steps are made together during early sessions.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or making it simpler to keep regular appointments. It can also make sessions comfortable for people who prefer talking without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical advantages to help people keep therapy consistent and manageable.
