About Arham
Arham Abtahi is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach grounded in existential thinking. She blends practical conversation with reflective inquiry to help people facing worry, low mood, relationship strain or complex trauma. Arham draws on six years of clinical experience and works from a compassionate, client-focused stance.
She pays close attention to how early relationships and attachment shape current feelings and choices. That helps when people struggle with abandonment, communication issues, codependency or trust.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, loss, body image concerns and the emotional impact of domestic violence. Sessions often centre on making sense of difficult experiences and finding personal meaning. She uses gentle questions and active listening to help people name patterns and try different ways of thinking and relating.
Practical steps and grounding strategies are offered when stress or dissociation make day-to-day life hard. Arham works in English and brings sensitivity to cultural complexity and diverse backgrounds. She holds BACP accreditation, which signals recognised professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her style is warm, respectful and collaborative. If someone is unsure where to begin, she encourages a short conversation to clarify goals and preferences. Therapy is paced according to each person’s needs, with space for reflection, practical planning and building new coping skills.

Online support
How existential and attachment approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people reflect on life choices, values and meaning in straightforward ways. It can be useful for those facing big life changes, feelings of emptiness or uncertainty about the future. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current bonds and communication. It is helpful for people who struggle with abandonment, trust or codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means plans can change as understanding deepens and new needs emerge.
Online therapy offers practical options that fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when eye contact and gestures matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling-style reflection or people who process better in writing. These formats make it easier to keep regular sessions, manage travel constraints and fit therapy around work or family commitments.
