About Arham

Arham Abtahi is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anger, relationship concerns, grief and life changes. Her practice also addresses career and coaching issues alongside intimacy-related and family-origin problems.

She uses an integrative, relational way of working that pays attention to both mind and body. Sessions focus on how early attachment and relationship patterns show up now. That helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings, including anger or withdrawal.

Her approach draws on attachment-based, client-centred and existential ideas, with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques mixed in. In practical terms that means talking through current problems, noticing body responses, and trying small changes to see what helps. There is an emphasis on exploring values, responsibility and meaning when facing life transitions.

Arham also works with issues tied to abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation and effects of domestic violence. She offers support for people grappling with emptiness, forgiveness and family of origin issues.

She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and selecting an online therapy option to book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Arham combines attachment-based work with client-centred and existential ideas to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence present reactions and helps people notice interaction styles that trigger anger or withdrawal. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person's lead so concerns like stress, grief or resentment can be talked through at a manageable pace. Existential work examines values, responsibility and meaning, which can be useful when coping with major life changes or persistent frustration.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That collaborative planning helps decide which ideas to try first and how to adjust if something does not feel helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and can be scheduled around work or family commitments. The emphasis is on practical ways to make therapy work for you rather than on a single method.
