About Asma
NCPS (The National Counselling Society), 15 years' experience. Asma Amjad is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief and related issues. She offers counselling in English and Urdu and accepts international clients.
Asma uses an integrative approach and draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts her way of working to the person in front of her rather than using a single fixed method. Sessions focus on practical steps, reflection and specific techniques to help manage thoughts and feelings.
Over 15 years she has supported people facing a wide range of difficulties including intimacy and eating issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, chronic illness and pain, disability, cancer, domestic violence and substance problems.
In sessions she typically helps people talk through current problems, learn coping strategies and practise mindfulness and CBT-style exercises. The work can be short-term and goal-focused or longer-term depending on what is needed. She aims to help people reduce the impact of issues on day-to-day life and build clearer ways forward.
Asma holds NCPS (National Counselling Society) accreditation. People wanting to begin can use the See online counselling options button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote counselling
Asma often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance and low mood. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening and working at the person’s pace to build understanding and self-direction. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful before choosing methods to try.
Confirm the current session options before booking as the profile does not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a registered professional in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere. The practical arrangements are agreed when making the booking so sessions can fit around work, caring duties and everyday routines.
