About Nahid
Nahid Aghili is a BACP counsellor with 17 years of practice. She trained in Transactional Analysis at Middlesex University and works from the United Kingdom. She speaks English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian and uses those languages in sessions when helpful.
Nahid describes a person-centred orientation alongside Transactional Analysis ideas. She aims to create straightforward, honest conversations where people feel heard and understood. She combines empathic listening with practical problem solving during sessions.
Her work covers a wide range of everyday and relational concerns. These include anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures, intimacy-related problems and career worries. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, ageing questions, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Nahid says she takes a flexible role in sessions - sometimes leading, sometimes following - depending on what the person needs. She uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and trauma-focused ideas where they fit the client’s goals. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, name painful feelings and try different ways of responding.
Her background growing up between cultures informs her approach to identity and belonging concerns. She avoids labels that stigmatise and focuses on clear, respectful dialogue. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing unhelpful thoughts and taking steps that reflect personal values. It is useful for anger, anxiety and feeling stuck because it focuses on action rather than fighting thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It helps with intimacy issues, relationship strain and feelings of abandonment by naming interaction patterns and practising new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree together which methods fit best. That collaborative process helps people decide whether to focus on emotional processing, practical skills or both.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. They also let people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflections and homework for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
