About Nagham

Nagham Alaraji is a BACP counsellor practising psychodynamic therapy in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Sessions are available in English and Arabic and she accepts international clients.

Nagham focuses on understanding how past experiences shape present reactions. She listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Together with the client she looks at feelings and memories that might be keeping old responses active. This can make it easier to spot when someone is falling into people-pleasing or losing themselves for the sake of others.

Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas about early attachments and also on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when painful events need careful attention. She aims to balance exploring deeper history with practical steps that help between sessions.

Conversation in sessions is straightforward and calm. Nagham helps clients name what is happening, try small changes, and notice the results. Sessions are suitable for people coping with bereavement, ongoing stress, or difficult relationship patterns such as codependency.

To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and plan a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. The initial steps are described clearly so people know what to expect before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences affect present behaviour and emotions. In online work this can mean talking through repeated patterns and noticing how they show up now, which is useful for relationship struggles and persistent anxiety.

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how people connect and respond to others. It helps when problems stem from fears of abandonment, trouble trusting, or leaning too much on a partner. Online sessions allow steady, regular conversations to explore these connection patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as needs change.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list them specifically. Ask which formats are currently offered and how they might fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quieter surroundings if you need less travel, and offer shorter check-ins when time is limited.
