Nagham Alaraji

Nagham Alaraji is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the BACP who offers support for grief, trauma, anxiety and stress. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to help people take the first step toward feeling steadier. Nagham speaks English and Arabic and works from the United Kingdom.

She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in daily life and relationships. That helps people understand where strong feelings come from and how past experiences affect today. She also draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches when those perspectives fit the person’s needs.

Sessions focus on listening and on making space for difficult emotions. Nagham aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. People can expect to talk through what matters most to them and to reflect on how old patterns reappear.

She has three years of professional experience working with issues such as relationship strain, bereavement, depression and abuse. Her practice also covers related concerns like caregiver stress, aging questions, adoption and attachment difficulties.

Nagham encourages small steps early on and works collaboratively to set goals. Practical ideas and gentle reflection are used together so people can find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

How her approaches work online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and emotion. It helps people notice how past experiences shape current reactions and find new ways to respond. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds affect trust and closeness, and it can be helpful for relationship worries and fears of abandonment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. It can also allow people to meet a therapist who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on emotional processing, building coping skills, or practical problem solving as needed.
