About Arham
Arham Abtahi is a counsellor who uses a relational, integrative approach to therapy. She blends methods that pay attention to both emotional experience and early relationship patterns. Her practice focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns.
She works with people facing relationship and intimacy issues, grief and family problems. She also supports those managing low self-esteem, anger, career stress and life transitions. Additional concerns she addresses include attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency and body image difficulties.
Background and approach
Her way of working is grounded in the therapeutic relationship. Sessions aim to be calm and non-judgemental so clients can talk about painful memories and current struggles. She draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Existential ideas alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques.
Arham brings six years of experience as a counsellor and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a trauma-aware, culturally sensitive stance when working with complex personal histories. Therapy with her is collaborative.
She will listen, help set goals and check in about what is most helpful. People who choose to work together explore how past relationships shape present choices and build ways to cope and move forward.
