Nagham Alaraji, BACP

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor who draws on relationship-focused work to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She has three years of professional experience and speaks English and Arabic. Nagham is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She concentrates on how past relationships and experiences shape feelings today. Sessions look at patterns that repeat in relationships and everyday life. This helps people make sense of strong emotions and reactions linked to trauma, abandonment, or loss.

Nagham also uses solution-focused ideas when a clearer plan is wanted. Those moments focus on practical steps people can try between sessions to relieve immediate pressure. This blend helps when someone needs both understanding and change.

People bring many different concerns, such as communication problems, caregiving stress, body image, or the effects of major illnesses. Nagham aims to listen without judgement and to offer straightforward feedback. Conversations are kept simple and centred on what the person wants to work on.

Her approach is collaborative. Nagham will help set goals and review progress together. She encourages small, realistic changes and checks in about what feels helpful as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past events shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions give time to reflect on patterns that repeat in relationships and to talk through painful memories at a comfortable pace.

Attachment-based work focuses on connection and how people relate to others. It helps with worries about closeness, abandonment and trust by exploring emotional responses and practising new ways of relating during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, history and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process may combine deeper exploration with practical, short-term goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
