About Nahid
Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of practice. She trained with a postgraduate diploma in Transactional Analysis from Middlesex University and is a BACP member. Nahid speaks English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian and draws on that multicultural background in her work.
Nahid’s approach is rooted in person-centred care. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected. She balances empathy and acceptance with gentle reality checking and practical problem solving.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative. Nahid describes her role as both a leader and a follower - guiding when needed and following the client’s pace. That makes the work feel flexible and tailored to each person’s needs.
She helps with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer, and HIV/AIDS among others.
Nahid uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Transactional Analysis and client-centred practice. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to take practical steps toward those values. If someone is considering online sessions, Nahid offers video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.
Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Online support
Nahid works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will discuss different methods and adapt sessions to match a client’s goals and preferences, combining approaches where that helps. The aim is to agree on a plan together and adjust it as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or travel. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports shorter updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to try different formats as needs change.
