Naziha Masri , AASW

Naziha Masri is an AASW-accredited social worker based in Australia. She has three years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and career concerns. Naziha aims to make the first step feel manageable and to walk alongside people as they work towards clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on honest conversation about what is happening now and what the person hopes will change. She creates space for thoughts and feelings to be named without judgement. Practical strategies are introduced when useful, and progress is tracked in ways that make sense to each person.

Naziha uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and take values-driven action. She also draws on Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ideas to build stronger emotional awareness and self-compassion. These methods are adapted to the individual’s pace and situation.

People looking for support with grief, trauma, relationship strain, ADHD or compassion fatigue will find a focused, empathetic listener. She also works with concerns such as body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress and blended family dynamics. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic to suit more people’s needs.

Naziha offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thinking patterns that feed distress and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods together. Sessions are collaborative, and techniques are adapted over time so they fit the person’s pace and daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home or work when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
