About Nagham

Nagham Alaraji helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression using psychodynamic methods and other approaches. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has three years of professional experience.

She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and in daily life. That can help make sense of feelings that feel confusing or overwhelming. She also draws on attachment-based work to focus on how early relationships influence current connections and behaviours.

Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term, goal-orientated work. That approach concentrates on small, practical steps and changes that can be tried between sessions. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past events are affecting day-to-day functioning, with attention to stabilising responses and building coping strategies.

Nagham works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and communication or commitment problems. She also has experience supporting people dealing with body image, ageing and caregiver stress, cancer, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic. She works in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients through the service. New clients begin by using the platform's matching process to schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns in thoughts and relationships. Online sessions can be used to talk through recurring feelings and to reflect on how past experiences shape current behaviour. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds affect present connections and helps explore relationship patterns and emotional responses.

Solution-focused work concentrates on practical steps and small changes. In online sessions this often means agreeing specific goals and trying simple strategies between appointments to see what helps. The therapist will discuss which of these methods might fit the client's situation and preferences, and will plan the approach together with the client.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need alternatives to a longer face-to-face meeting, mention this when booking so the counsellor can confirm the session options. As formats were not specified in the original biography, check the available session types before you schedule to ensure they suit your routine.
