About Nagham
Nagham Alaraji is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She offers sessions in English and Arabic and accepts international clients.
Nagham draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people look at how past experiences shape current feelings. She listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and day-to-day reactions, and gently points them out so clients can make different choices. This can be useful for people carrying guilt or shame linked to earlier relationships or losses.
She also uses attachment-based thinking to explore how early bonds affect trust and closeness now. That approach is practical: it helps name what a person feels when they want connection but hold back. For more immediate problems, she brings solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and try small changes between sessions.
Nagham works with trauma-informed practices when people bring histories of abuse or difficult losses. She aims to move at a pace the client can manage and to notice when memories or feelings need gentler handling. Her style is direct and conversational rather than highly technical.
Sessions begin with a simple conversation about what brings someone in and what they hope to change. She asks about language preferences, past experiences that matter to therapy, and practical factors like scheduling. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire before booking their first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. Online sessions using this approach often focus on recognising patterns and talking through how old reactions show up now.Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape trust and closeness. Used online, it helps people name their needs and practise different ways of asking for connection in current relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic thinking, attachment work, or short-term solution-focused steps suit their goals and comfort level. This is a shared process informed by the client's needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify which remote session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a busy day, or letting people choose whether to use video or another format if supported. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and exercises to work well in a digital session without assuming a different clinical approach.
