About Nagham
Nagham Alaraji is a BACP counsellor practising psychodynamic approaches with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic.
Nagham focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings and make sense of recurring patterns. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions. That can help when anxiety, low mood or grief keep repeating in similar ways.
She also uses attachment-based techniques to look at how relationships affect thoughts and behaviour. These tools are often used for concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems and commitment worries. The emphasis is on noticing patterns rather than assigning blame.
Solution-focused work features in her practice for people who want short-term, practical steps. That approach aims to identify small, concrete changes someone can try between sessions. It can suit people who are unsure what to try next or who want clearer, achievable goals.
Her experience includes additional areas such as adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, cancer-related stress, caregiver strain, codependency and coping after disasters. Nagham accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This first meeting is used to agree goals and decide which combination of approaches will be most helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions using psychodynamic ideas can help people notice repeating patterns that affect their choices and relationships.Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape expectations and reactions. When applied online it can help with issues such as abandonment, commitment worries and communication problems by exploring how early bonds show up in present relationships.
Nagham also uses solution-focused techniques to identify concrete next steps. These are short, practical tasks people can try between sessions to see what shifts and what does not.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their concerns, goals and preferences. That means discussing options during the first meetings and adjusting the plan over time.
The practical benefit of working online is being able to fit sessions into everyday life. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them. Many people find that online appointments make it easier to attend regular check-ins and to try brief, focused sessions when schedules are tight.
