About me

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.

Nahid is so understanding and caring, she has really helped me to recognise unhelpful patterns of behaviour and gave me some great advice. It’s truly life changing. I can’t wait to continue working with her. Thank you so much Nahid

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

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.
