About Arham
Arham Abtahi is a counsellor who uses a relational, integrative approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She draws on person-centred values to create a respectful space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and decide what they want to work on.
Arham brings six years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She often works with people coping with loss, grief and life changes, and those wrestling with self-esteem, intimacy concerns and relationship difficulties. Codependency and attachment issues are among the specific areas she addresses.
Her way of working blends Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred listening and elements of existential thinking. Sessions look at how early relationships affect present patterns and focus on small changes people can try between meetings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to strengthen motivation and build practical skills.
Arham describes therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people to notice strengths, set realistic goals and take steady steps towards them. Her cultural background informs her work and helps her relate to complex, diverse life situations.
She offers sessions from the United Kingdom and works in English. If a person is unsure how to begin, Arham suggests using the platform's Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Arham draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred Therapy to guide her online work. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active, non-judgemental listening so people can explore what matters most to them and set their own goals.She also uses elements of Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing when helpful to build coping skills and strengthen motivation. Mindfulness offers simple practices to calm the body and focus attention, while Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find reasons to make changes. Together these approaches aim to balance emotional understanding with practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy and is decided collaboratively. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needed to suit each person's situation. For session formats, please confirm the current options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, support quieter check-ins that do not need long travel, and allow follow-ups to continue between in-person contacts when that suits the person.
