About Asma

Asma Amjad is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strains and a wide range of other difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she accepts international clients.

She draws on several practical approaches rather than a single method. That means she may use acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas, client-centred listening and solution-focused conversations where they fit. In a session she will listen, reflect, and offer tools or exercises to help manage thoughts, feelings and daily routines.

Asma often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and intimacy-related problems. She also helps with issues connected to body image, attachment and abandonment, chronic illness or caregiver stress, and problems with sleeping or eating. Her work includes addressing anger, low self-esteem and coping with major life changes such as separation or cancer-related concerns.

Sessions can be short-term to work on immediate problems, or longer term for deeper patterns. She aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions, for example mindfulness practices, behavioural experiments, or steps to improve communication at home. Practical, step-by-step ideas are offered alongside open listening.

People choosing her work should expect straightforward, adult-focused conversation about what is happening at home and in life. Before booking it is sensible to confirm the current session options and how they fit with everyday schedules.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It helps people living with anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes to act in ways that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleeping and eating difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a respectful, non-judgemental conversation so the person can explore what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that suit the person. That makes sessions collaborative and adaptable as needs change.

The practical benefit of working online is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around childcare, work hours or medical commitments, and it can reduce travel time. Different formats and timings may suit different people, so confirm the session options available before booking to ensure they align with your routines and technology. Registered or accredited professionals can then agree a plan that fits everyday life.
