About Nagham
Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor with three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works in English and Arabic. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
Nagham focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and challenges linked to ageing or caregiving.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work on body image, codependency, communication struggles and coping after disasters. In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful memories and current worries. The psychodynamic approach looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns.
This can help identify repeated reactions and open up new choices in relationships and daily life. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to consider how important relationships influence emotional needs. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, practical steps when someone wants quick, concrete changes.
For people affected by trauma, she uses trauma-focused methods to gently address and process difficult events. Nagham describes beginning therapy as a courageous act and works collaboratively to set goals. She encourages clients to take things at their own pace and to explore what feels most helpful.
Her sessions aim to balance understanding the past with making useful changes for the present.

How Nagham works online
Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships influence emotional needs and safety. It helps people explore connection styles and improve how they relate to others. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on carefully addressing and processing distressing events so their emotional impact becomes more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, history and practical needs to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler way to join a session. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match personal needs and daily routines.
