About Arham
Arham Abtahi is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and supports those coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Arham also works with career and coaching questions and young adult issues.
Her practice uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles. Sessions focus on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. She pays attention to emotional responses and how they show up in everyday life.
Arham describes therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages people to set clear goals and to reflect on practical steps between sessions. Conversations involve noticing thoughts, feelings and behavioural habits, then testing small, manageable changes in real life.
Mindfulness and existential perspectives also inform her work. Mindfulness helps with grounding when anxiety or difficult memories come up. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, choice and responsibility in a straightforward way.
Her background includes work with people affected by domestic abuse and complex trauma. Arham’s cultural awareness is part of how she frames conversations, particularly when family and identity affect wellbeing. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session to agree goals and practical plans.
How her therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Arham often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current emotions and patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeating relationship problems, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the client’s experience and reflects it back, helping people feel heard and to organise their thoughts more clearly.These approaches are explored together to find what fits. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to emphasise. That process may involve adjusting pacing, trying mindfulness exercises, or focusing on specific relationship patterns depending on the client’s needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and make it possible to use headphones instead of video if that suits someone better.
