With several years of experience as a mental health counsellor, I bring expertise in Integrative Psychotherapy to my practice, tailored to address a diverse array of mental health challenges and traumas. Specializing in areas such as Child Sexual Abuse, domestic abuse, and others, I've assisted clients dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, isolation, and various forms of trauma. My personal background within a complex cultural framework enables me to connect empathetically with the culturally intricate and diverse issues that my clients encounter.
My therapeutic approach is deeply relational, drawing from evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities tailored to suit individual needs. I firmly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship, cultivating an open and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions.
In therapy, I adopt an integrative style that considers both mind and body processes, exploring how early relationship dynamics shape present experiences. This journey of self-awareness and transformation emphasizes clients' strengths and resilience in overcoming challenges.
Therapy, for me, is a collaborative journey, characterized by mutual respect and shared responsibility. Placing utmost importance on the client's needs and goals, I prioritize a client-centred approach, ensuring that therapy remains focused on their unique journey towards healing and growth.
If you're considering embarking on this therapeutic journey, I extend a warm welcome. Taking that initial step towards therapy requires courage, and I commend you for taking it. Together, we will work towards achieving your goals. If you are considering therapy, I warmly invite you to take that first step, and I look forward to accompanying you on your path towards healing and well-being.

I've had one session with Arham and she was very respectful and very reassuring. Arham made me feel very calm throughout the session.

Arham makes me feel so relaxed and calm. I was very apprehensive about starting therapy and wasn’t too sure if it was even going to be beneficial. Within the first couple of sessions I was already starting to recognise things and Arham gave a great balance of listening and input. I was matched perfectly and I have benefited greatly from it.

I’ve been so very lucky to be blessed with an excellent listener from the first day. Arham has heard my deepest feelings and life stories and has been consistently supportive and helpful through it all. I’ve have grown with her help and judgement-free guidance. I highly recommend Arham Abtahi as a caring, open, compassionate and professional therapist. Thank you dear soul!
