Asma Amjad, NCPS

Asma Amjad is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person. She draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people feel more like themselves again. Asma has 15 years' experience and works with clients from different backgrounds. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through whatever is worrying you.

She commonly helps people with stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns. Asma also works with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and compassion fatigue. Practical problems such as sleeping and eating issues, anger, self-esteem and parenting strain are part of her day-to-day practice.

Her approach adapts to what each person needs. Sessions may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, learning simple mindfulness techniques, and setting small, achievable goals. Asma aims to build confidence and reduce the impact of problems on daily life.

Asma holds the NCPS credential, which denotes registration with The National Counselling Society. She has worked across diverse communities and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in the United Kingdom.

She offers therapy in English and Urdu and accepts international clients. To begin, a short intake helps match priorities and decide whether short-term or longer-term work is best. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress and long-term health challenges by shifting attention toward meaningful activities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical steps to change them, often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship so people feel heard and can find their own solutions; this approach supports emotional processing and self-esteem work.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods that fit your goals. You can expect the plan to be reviewed and adjusted as work progresses so it stays relevant to your needs.

Please confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to access support when managing illness or caregiving duties. It can also let people use audio only or avoid video when that better suits their comfort or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to make therapy more practical while working on stress, relationships, chronic pain and other concerns.
