About Arham
Arham Abtahi is a counsellor who uses relationship-focused methods to help people navigate difficult feelings. She brings six years of clinical experience and works from a client-centred perspective to support people facing anxiety, stress and depression. She focuses on how early attachment and relationship patterns shape present behaviour.
That understanding is used to make sense of problems such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and commitment fears. Sessions also address practical concerns like career strain, communication problems and coping with life changes.
How Arham works
Arham offers a straightforward, collaborative style. She listens closely and helps people name what is happening, so they can try new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when useful to help with emotion regulation and decision-making.
Her work includes trauma-related matters such as domestic violence, dissociation and complex grief. She also supports those dealing with body image, low self-esteem and feelings of emptiness. The focus is on building resilience and small, manageable steps toward change.
Arham is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged across international time zones. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approach and online options for relationship-focused therapy
Arham draws on attachment-based work to look at how early bonds affect present relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help people who struggle with attachment issues, abandonment fears or patterns of dependency and avoidance.She also uses client-centred therapy which places the person’s experience at the core of sessions. That means the counsellor follows the client’s pace, listens deeply and helps people make sense of feelings and priorities in their own words.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Arham treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods suit each person’s goals, needs and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed route.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging can support regular reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, travel or family rhythms while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
