Arham Abtahi , BACP

Arham Abtahi is a United Kingdom based counsellor with six years of clinical experience, practising an integrative form of psychotherapy that draws together relational, trauma-informed, and evidence-based techniques. She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, including child sexual abuse and domestic violence, and supports those navigating anxiety, depression, grief, isolation, and culturally complex concerns.

Her work emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a primary agent of change. She adopts a relational stance that seeks to understand how early attachments and present relationships shape emotions, behaviour, and sense of self. Using an integrative approach, she attends to both psychological and bodily experiences, helping clients explore patterns that contribute to distress while identifying existing strengths and resilience.

Arham combines attachment-informed thinking with client-centred principles and trauma-aware practices to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where clients can reflect on their history, current challenges, and goals. Professional registration includes BACP - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards.

Therapy with Arham is framed as a collaborative process that honours the client’s pace and priorities, focusing on restoring agency, improving relationships, and supporting meaningful change.

Attachment-informed and Client-centered Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional regulation. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore attachment wounds, repair relational ruptures, and develop more secure ways of connecting with others, which can be helpful for issues like abandonment, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. Therapists offer empathic listening and non-directive support so clients can discover their own goals and solutions. This approach is well suited to people working through self-esteem, life transitions, grief, or the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Mindfulness Therapy supports present-moment awareness and can be integrated to help manage anxiety, stress, and dissociation by building skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without overidentifying with them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and can adapt strategies as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access care from different locations and at times that suit their routines. For many, remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
