About Nagham

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor who draws on conversational, reflective work to help people understand painful feelings. She uses a calm, patient style and encourages clear talk about what is worrying someone. She offers sessions in English and Arabic and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential.

With three years of professional experience, Nagham helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and the effects of abuse. Her practice notes additional focus on issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, and challenges that come with illness or caregiving.

In sessions she aims to make space for honest exploration of thoughts and emotions. Conversations look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that feel stuck. This approach helps people spot old dynamics and try different ways of responding.

She also uses elements of solution-focused and trauma-focused work when it suits a person’s needs. That means some sessions can be brief and goal-directed, while others allow time to process difficult memories at a steady pace.

Nagham encourages people to take gentle steps forward. She invites practical changes alongside emotional understanding. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How psychodynamic and trauma-informed work translate online

Psychodynamic therapy involves talking through feelings and recurring relationship patterns to understand why certain reactions keep happening. Online sessions can give the same space for reflective conversation and noticing connections between past and present experiences.

Trauma-focused approaches concentrate on helping people process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact. Online work can move at a steady pace and use grounding or stabilising techniques while allowing the person to remain in a familiar setting they choose.

Nagham also uses solution-focused ideas to set small, practical goals when that fits someone’s needs. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try a method, and adjust based on what feels most helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time. It can be easier to arrange sessions around work or caregiving, and some people prefer shorter check-ins when they need quick support. Please confirm the current session options and formats before booking so arrangements match your needs.
