Asma Amjad

Asma Amjad is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulty moving forward. She presents as conscientious and compassionate and focuses on building confidence so clients can feel more like themselves. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she works from a broad, flexible approach to meet different needs.

With 15 years of experience, Asma draws on several ways of working rather than one fixed method. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred ideas alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. This blend lets her adapt sessions to what an individual needs right now.

She has worked with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and a range of ages. Common concerns she supports include relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, low self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and anger. Additional foci include attachment and abandonment worries, chronic illness and pain, and issues around codependency and control.

Asma is listed with NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her profile. She accepts international clients and works in the United Kingdom. Her approach suits both shorter problem-focused work and longer-term therapeutic aims depending on what a client prefers.

To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist arrangements.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

The counsellor uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and long-standing avoidance patterns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and helps people learn new skills to manage worry, sleep problems and mood. Client-Centred Therapy is another part of her practice and focuses on listening without judgement so the person can reflect and decide what matters to them.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit them. That plan may change as work progresses, with adjustments made together to keep sessions useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the counsellor currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people attend from another location or when in-person meetings are difficult, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to suit daily life.
