About Nahid

She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis from Middlesex University in London and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which denotes professional membership with the national counselling body. Nahid draws on 17 years of clinical experience working with relationship and family concerns, grief and bereavement, parenting challenges, depression, stress and anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep and anger problems, self-esteem, career matters, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Nahid brings a deeply relational stance to her work, believing that a strong therapeutic connection is central to change. Her practice balances empathetic, client-centered listening and unconditional positive regard with practical reality checking and problem solving when appropriate. She describes her role as both a leader and a follower in therapy - guiding when needed and following the client’s pace and priorities.

Fluent in English and Farsi - Persian - with additional fluency in Italian, Nahid can offer therapy in multiple languages and accepts international clients. She seeks to treat people with respect and dignity, avoids stigmatizing labels, and aims to create an authentic, supportive space where clients feel heard and valued as they work toward greater wellbeing.

Approach-focused online therapy tailored to your needs

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices; it is well suited to relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns developed in early relationships and how they affect current connections - it can help with intimacy issues, family of origin problems and recurring relationship difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the experience and expression of emotions in close relationships and aims to help partners or individuals better understand and change their emotional responses to improve connection and regulation.

Nahid approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the direction of therapy as understanding deepens. This shared decision making supports a personalised, evolving plan rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, access across time zones and continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work remotely, making it easier for people with busy lives, mobility limits or who live outside the therapist's immediate area to engage in consistent treatment.
