About Nahid
Nahid Aghili is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience. She trained with a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis studies from Middlesex University and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English, Persian (Farsi), and Italian and draws on that multicultural background in her work.
Nahid bases her work on a person-centred stance alongside Transactional Analysis. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and makes space for clients to feel heard.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, without labelling or judgement. She balances empathy and acceptance with gentle reality checking and practical problem solving. That means she listens first, then helps clients try new ways of dealing with problems.
Her approach suits people who want warmth and honesty in equal measure. Her areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, parenting strains, depression, stress and anxiety. She also works with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, and coping with life changes.
Additional areas she pays attention to include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, ageing and geriatric concerns, cancer-related adjustment, communication and commitment issues, and HIV/AIDS-related worries. Nahid accepts clients from international locations and offers sessions in the three languages she speaks. Her practice emphasises meeting people where they are and moving at their pace.
The aim is to help each person find clearer choices and more manageable ways of living day to day.

How Nahid works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and responses to different methods and will adapt the way they work to fit each person. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The original biography does not list session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions in any of the languages she speaks, helping people connect across different locations and schedules.
