About Arham

Arham Abtahi is a counsellor who uses relational and client-centred ways of working. She focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage anxiety, depression and trauma-related difficulties.

She has six years of experience supporting people with stress, grief and life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions and self-esteem struggles. Additional areas Arham pays attention to include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and family of origin problems.

Background and approach

Arham combines Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred and existential thinking. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on practical steps they can take between meetings.

Her background includes work with survivors of domestic abuse and other trauma, and she draws on that experience to offer steady, trauma-aware support. She aims to build a non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about painful topics and test new ways of relating to themselves and others. Arham is based in the United Kingdom and lists BACP as a professional credential.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their needs.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Online approaches rooted in relationships and presence

Arham often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand connection patterns and work on feeling steadier in relationships.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps clients follow their own pace and goals. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help people notice bodily sensations and thoughts, and to build simple skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will explore needs, goals and preferences with the client and suggest ways of working that fit. Decisions about methods are revisited as therapy unfolds so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit around work or family life. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent across different schedules and time zones.
