She is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. Nahid speaks English, Persian (Farsi) and Italian and brings a warm, patient presence to sessions.

Nahid works in a person-centred way. She focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where people feel heard and understood. She combines empathy and acceptance with practical reality checking and problem solving to help people move forward.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, parenting pressures, depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues and sleep problems. Nahid also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career decisions, major life changes and compassion fatigue.

Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric concerns, cancer, communication and commitment problems, forgiving and working through guilt and shame, and living with HIV or AIDS. She also notes attention to ADHD related challenges. Sessions are delivered with an emphasis on meeting each person where they are and moving at their pace.

Online support

How Nahid’s approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding and shifting the emotional patterns that shape close connections. In online sessions this can look like naming feelings, tracking how reactions unfold, and practising new responses to improve emotional bonds and intimacy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, practical steps that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current behaviour. Working online, the therapist and client use conversation to identify attachment needs and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nahid will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She balances listening and practical input so that therapy fits day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and situations and make it easier to attend therapy from wherever you are.
