Arham Abtahi

Arham Abtahi is a mental health counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience practising integrative psychotherapy. She specialises in supporting people affected by child sexual abuse, domestic abuse and other forms of trauma, and she also works with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career issues, coaching and coping with life changes. Her personal background within a complex cultural framework helps her relate empathically to culturally intricate and diverse issues.

Her therapeutic style is deeply relational and draws on evidence-based, trauma-informed methods that are adapted to each person’s needs. She adopts an integrative approach that attends to both mind and body processes and explores how early relationship dynamics shape current experience. The work emphasises self-awareness, resilience and the strengths clients bring to the therapeutic process.

She views therapy as a collaborative journey based on mutual respect and shared responsibility, keeping the client’s goals at the centre of the work. As a therapist of color who offers a non-religious, liberal stance, she aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where people feel able to express their thoughts and emotions. She welcomes those considering therapy, acknowledges the courage involved in taking the first step, and offers partnership on the path toward healing and growth.
