About Nagham
Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor who blends conversational therapy with practical focus. She holds BACP registration and has three years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She speaks English and Arabic and works with individuals in the United Kingdom and internationally.
In sessions she aims to build an open space where clients can talk freely about difficult feelings. Her style invites reflection on how past experiences shape current patterns, while keeping attention on immediate concerns.
Background and approach
She avoids jargon and uses plain language to make discussions easy to follow. Nagham draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect mood and behaviour. She also uses trauma-focused methods when people need to process painful events, and solution-focused work to identify steps that help now.
These approaches are chosen to suit what the person needs in the moment. Practical matters such as managing grief, coping with loss, and reducing anxiety are addressed through short-term strategies and longer conversations about meaning. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption or foster care experiences, and caregiving stress when these are relevant.
Sessions are delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Nagham encourages small, steady steps and supports clients as they try different ways to feel better.

Approaches Nagham lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic therapy helps people understand recurring feelings and repeated choices. In remote sessions this involves gentle exploration of past events and present worries to uncover meaning and reduce the hold of old patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose whether attachment ideas, psychodynamic reflection or solution-focused steps suit the current goals. This is decided together and can change as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when tone and expression matter, while phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel, making it easier to keep continuity over time.
