Hi! Thank you for taking time to read my profile. My name is Nahid Aghili and I am a qualified counsellor with Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis (TA) studies from Middlesex University in London and I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, Registered Member (107538).
I am of Persian background and lived in Florence for many years before moving to London in the 1980's. Both English and Farsi are my first languages but I am also fluent in Italian.
My primary therapy orientation is person-cantered as well as Transactional Analysis Therapy. I strongly believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is paramount for client growth. I maintain that therapy should be an authentic experience, and the client’s need to be heard, valued, and understood is primary.
I see my role as both a leader and a follower in treatment to promote client change, and thus I practice a balance of basic empathy and unconditional positive regard combined with reality checking and problem solving in therapy.
I believe in treating others with respect and dignity. I will meet you where you are and move along at your pace. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.
I acknowledge the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and commend you for your choice in reaching for that goal. I look forward to working together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Nahid is a wonderful therapist. I was looking for someone who actively listened to me, that showed empathy but also provided a clear persepctive on how I felt, providing small exercising to help me heal. She did exactly that, I am delighted to have her as a therapist.

She is wonderful
I love Nahid, she helps me to see doors I've never been brave enough to open. She specially has a sensitive carrying side that makes you feel someone truly listen to you in a sincere and empathetic manner
Had a great experience so far. Thank you Nahid for being gentle and kind :)
Nahid is lovely to speak with. She is knowledgeable and supportive and allows you to lead yourself where you need to go, without being told what to do, but while still offering advise and guidance along the way.
Nahid is truly one of a kind. Her unending compassion makes me feel heard and seen and her extensive experience makes me feel understood. In only a few sessions I felt so much progress was made and it has only increased since. I am so grateful for the loving self reflection she provides. Like the other review said, she is a true healer.
Nahid Aghili was my therapist for 2 months. I worked with her in a moment where I felt lost and very vulnerable, and she supported me with her kind, delightful and understanding approach. Thanks to her, I got a deeper insight on some aspects regarding relationships, my background, anxiety and more. I would definitely recommend her for the way she put me at ease in such a loving and considerate way.
Nahid Aghili has helped me with exploring my inner world and developing new skills to improve my life.
Couldn't feel in better hands. First time i decide doing therapy online and I consider myself lucky because I immediately found her, a literal angel. Highly recommended!
nahid is a wonderful resource, full of kind reality checks as well as great empathy and genuine care, concern and kindness. she has really helped me navigate the multicultural aspects of my life and see the reality of my own experience through a lens of what is healthy. she helped me face up to some of my deepest trauamas and shadows and i highly recommend her. in 3 sessions i feel we have done so much
I was a bit nervous to start therapy but my first session with Nahid put me completely at ease. She is so warm and caring and made me feel so comfortable from the first moment we spoke. In our sessions, I've been given very helpful perspectives on the issues that I'm facing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist. Thank you Nahid
Dr Nahid is easy to speak to , she makes you feel comfortable, listens and understand you with no judgements. It’s not easy to find a therapist that understand Middle Eastern households so I was lucky to have found her. Totally recommend working with her !
Nahid was very supportive and helped me to see old issues in new ways
I am really grateful for Nahid's support and patience. She is warm, compassionate but she also knows when to challenge me when I stray into a silly place. Thank you for your time Nahid :-)
She is patient, and she listens carefully.
Nahid has changed my life, health and joy in life in such a short period of time. I am so grateful and blessed to have such support. She is a true healer and anyone would be lucky to have Nahid by their side through their battles
Amazing therapist. Very kind, compassionate and highly experienced. I thank her so much.
