Nagham Alaraji, BACP

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. She helps people name what is happening for them and make sense of patterns that keep recurring. This often includes looking at past experiences that still affect day-to-day life.

Nagham uses a psychodynamic approach to explore how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. She may combine this with attachment-focused ideas to look at how bonds and trust affect relationships. Solution-focused techniques are sometimes used to identify practical steps and short-term goals.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, codependency, body image and coping with illness. People also bring issues such as communication difficulties, commitment worries and control struggles.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic. Nagham works from the United Kingdom and is open to international enquiries. She encourages people to take the first step and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Psychodynamic counselling focuses on how early relationships and repeated patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. Online conversations can help surface those patterns and explore their impact on stress, relationships and mood. Attachment-based ideas look at how bonds and trust affect how people relate; this can be helpful for relationship worries and for understanding reactions after loss or trauma.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques when a client wants practical steps and short-term goals. These techniques aim to identify what is already working and build on it to create manageable change. The therapist will discuss which approaches to try and adapt them as the work progresses so it fits the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer a phone-style conversation. The therapist and client will discuss practical arrangements together and agree what works best.
