About Nahid

Nahid Aghili is a BACP registered counsellor with 17 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She trained in Transactional Analysis at postgraduate level and brings a client-centred approach to conversations about difficult emotions and life changes.

Nahid works with a broad range of concerns including relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress and trauma. She also supports people facing intimacy problems, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and work-related pressure. Additional focus areas listed include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, ageing and geriatric matters, and health-related concerns such as cancer and HIV/AIDS.

Her way of working emphasises honest, straightforward dialogue. She combines person-centred listening with practical reality checking and problem solving. Sessions aim to let people feel understood while also trying small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.

Nahid speaks English, Persian and Italian, and she draws on approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when these fit a client's needs. She describes her role as both guiding and following, adapting pace to what the person can manage.

People who contact her typically want a clear, respectful conversation about their concerns. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session using the site booking flow.

Approaches available in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and notice interaction patterns that keep them stuck.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works on values and willingness to experience difficult thoughts while making small changes that matter in everyday life. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current emotional responses and patterns with others. It can be useful for people who want to understand how they connect and disconnect from those around them.

Nahid treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals, concerns and preferences, and adjust the plan as the work unfolds.

Confirm the session formats available before booking through the site, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on their needs.
