More about Nahid

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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
