Najma Haja Alaudeen

Najma Haja Alaudeen offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on helping adults who struggle with anxiety, low mood, traumatic memories, ADHD challenges, relationship strain and anger. Sessions aim to treat the whole person, not just symptoms, and to build workable strategies for everyday life.

Najma draws on 19 years of clinical experience and adapts what she uses to fit each person's needs. She helps people manage worry, improve motivation, cope with past hurt, and reduce the impact of self-doubt. Her style is collaborative - she and the client plan steps that feel realistic and useful.

In sessions Najma prioritises clear tools and steady support. That may include learning new coping skills, practising behavioural changes, or working on emotional awareness and connection. She also offers guidance around parenting stress, burnout and grief when those issues are part of someone’s story.

Najma uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in ways that suit the person in front of her. She explains options plainly and helps people choose what will help most right now.

Najma holds membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers, AASW. Sessions are offered in English and Tamil for people living in Australia. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so people can find a time that fits their routine.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and respond now, and can be useful for relationship issues, grief and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on recognising unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural experiments to change mood and habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Najma will discuss options with each person and jointly decide what to try first based on goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps people feel more confident about which methods to use.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy lives, as they can reduce travel time, make it simpler to have shorter check-ins around work, or allow sessions when attending in person is difficult. Discussing which approach and session arrangement will suit your routine is something Najma will do during the initial matching and scheduling process.
