Asma Amjad , NCPS

Asma Amjad is a counsellor who blends practical therapy with calm, steady support. She focuses on helping people who feel stressed, anxious or low, and those unsure how to move forward. Asma speaks English and Urdu and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds NCPS as a credential and brings 15 years of experience to her practice.

In sessions she offers a straightforward, non‑judgemental space to talk about what is causing upset. She helps people break problems down into manageable steps and build confidence to make changes. Common concerns she addresses include depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and addictions.

Asma uses a flexible approach rather than a single method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client‑Centered principles, Mindfulness and Solution‑Focused techniques as they suit each person. That means sessions can be focused on noticing thoughts and feelings, testing small changes, or finding practical solutions for day to day life.

She also supports people facing issues around attachment, body image, parenting stress, chronic illness, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use. Her background includes working with diverse ethnic communities and a wide range of personal experiences.

Whether someone wants short‑term problem solving or longer work, Asma aims to help clients reduce daily distress and reclaim things that matter to them. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit the person’s schedule.

How Asma uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small committed steps that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression and chronic stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tests helpful alternative ways of thinking. It often suits people who want practical tools to reduce worry, improve sleep, manage mood swings or address unhelpful habits.

Client‑Centered work makes space for a person to be heard and accepted while they find their own ways forward. This approach is useful when a person needs time to process the impact of trauma, grief or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. The counsellor will talk through goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust over time if something does not feel helpful. This collaborative way helps build trust and makes therapy more useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit around life. Video is good for face to face conversation, phone can be easier when internet is limited, and chat or messaging works for brief check‑ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to keep appointments and maintain steady progress.
