About Asma

Asma Amjad helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties using an integrative approach that adapts to each person. She is registered with NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and has 15 years' experience in counselling.

She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, eating or sleeping problems, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, and problems arising from separation or domestic violence.

Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused practices. That means conversations can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns, practising short mindfulness exercises, and setting small practical steps between sessions.

Her background includes work with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and a broad age range over a 15-year period. The NCPS credential is listed as NCPS in her profile.

People can expect straightforward, goal-focused sessions when that fits, or more open listening when needed. The emphasis is on clear discussion of what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small practical ways to try different approaches. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling of a first session.

How Asma uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to small actions that reflect their values; it suits anxiety, low mood and issues around meaning. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and some relationship problems. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify their own priorities and make choices at their own pace.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree a way of working together. That choice can change as needs change, and sessions can be collaborative reviews of what is most useful.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to arrange sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as these are not specified in the biography. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often use short exercises, thought records or mindfulness practices between sessions to make the work more practical and easier to fit into everyday life.
