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.

I had the privilege of working with Nahid during a very difficult time in my life, and I cannot express enough how much her support meant to me. She guided me with great care, empathy, and wisdom, creating a space where I felt truly seen, heard, and safe. Her advice was always thoughtful and insightful, and her presence alone brought a sense of calm and comfort. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to move through a challenging period with more strength and clarity. I’m deeply grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate and professional support.

Working with Nahid has been one of the most meaningful and empowering experiences of my life. She creates a space that feels incredibly safe, nonjudgmental, and deeply supportive—something that is rare and truly invaluable. Her presence is calm and grounding, yet she knows exactly when and how to gently challenge your thinking in a way that sparks real self-awareness and growth.
Nahid has an incredible ability to listen—not just to your words, but to what’s beneath them. She sees the patterns you may not even realize you’re repeating and helps guide you to connect the dots in a way that feels insightful, not overwhelming. Our conversations have always been honest, thoughtful, and filled with compassion.
What I appreciated most is that she never tried to “fix” me—she helped me understand that I already had the answers within myself. With her guidance, I’ve learned how to tune into my own needs, take responsibility for my healing, and make space for change in my life.
If you are looking for a therapist who is wise, intuitive, authentic, and deeply dedicated to your growth, I cannot recommend Nahid enough. She is truly exceptional.

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.
