About Nahid
Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of experience and a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained with a postgraduate diploma in Transactional Analysis studies from Middlesex University in London. Nahid speaks English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian and draws on that background when supporting people from diverse cultures.
Nahid works mainly from a person-centred perspective and uses Transactional Analysis ideas alongside other approaches.
Background and approach
She emphasises a warm, respectful relationship and aims to make sessions feel authentic and non-judgemental. People are invited to speak at their own pace and to focus on what matters most to them. In sessions she mixes empathy and acceptance with practical problem-solving and gentle reality checking.
This can help with daily stresses and longer-term patterns that keep returning. Topics she supports include depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career matters. She also offers help around trauma and abuse, attachment and family of origin issues, adoption and foster care, abandonment and ageing-related concerns.
Additional areas include compassion fatigue, HIV / AIDS, cancer-related distress and managing life transitions. Nahid sees counselling as a collaborative process. She aims to listen first, then work with each person to set realistic steps forward.
Her multicultural experience and language skills mean she can support people who prefer English, Italian or Persian. Background and approach: Nahid combines person-centred practice with elements drawn from emotion-focused and trauma-informed work. Sessions tend to focus on building understanding of feelings and patterns, and on finding practical ways to cope and change.
She encourages kindness to oneself while exploring difficult memories and decisions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many of Nahid's techniques come from person-centred work and related approaches that focus on feelings and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-led actions to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy and family of origin issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognising and shifting emotional responses to improve relationships and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nahid works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most, suggests options, and tests what helps in practical steps together.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
