About Nahid

Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of experience and a membership with 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 her multicultural background in sessions.

Nahid's practice is person-centred. She emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where clients feel heard and respected. She combines empathy and attentive listening with practical problem solving when needed.

Background and approach

This balance helps people move at their own pace. Parents reading this will find practical support around parenting and family-related stresses. Nahid also works with relationship concerns, grief, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions.

She helps people affected by trauma and abuse and those handling career or caregiving strain. Her wider focus includes issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment and family-of-origin problems, commitment and communication issues, and coping with illness or ageing. Nahid also offers support for people with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and HIV/AIDS related worries.

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Nahid aims to meet clients where they are and avoid stigmatizing labels. She describes her role as both guiding and following, matching practical suggestions to each person’s priorities.

Online support

How Nahid’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can help when stress, anxiety or difficult thoughts are getting in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current connections and parenting styles.

Nahid uses a person-centred stance alongside these methods, offering warm listening and practical suggestions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; she will discuss options and adapt her way of working to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative manner.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone work can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work and travel while keeping continuity of care.
