Asma Amjad, NCPS

Asma Amjad is a counsellor who blends practical therapies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, and midlife concerns. She uses everyday language and straightforward techniques to help clients feel more like themselves. With 15 years of experience, she aims to build confidence and reduce the daily impact of struggle. Asma works in English and Urdu and is registered with NCPS (National Counselling Society).

She takes an integrative approach, choosing methods that fit each person rather than one fixed style. That means sessions might include cognitive work to change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based practices to cope with difficult feelings, or mindfulness exercises to calm the body. The focus is on small, practical steps clients can use between meetings.

Asma has experience with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, and parenting stress. She also supports people facing chronic illness, codependency, body image and intimacy-related worries. Her background includes work with diverse communities and different age ranges.

Sessions can be arranged to suit shorter or longer therapeutic journeys. Asma aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what matters to them. Practical coping tools and clear discussion of goals are common parts of her work.

To begin, people follow a short matching process and schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Asma commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to ease anxiety, depression and compulsive habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's needs and goals. That might mean trying an acceptance-based strategy for overwhelming feelings, then adding practical CBT tasks to build new habits over time.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions around work and family life, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to maintain continuity when schedules are busy. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that better suits a day-to-day routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will discuss which setup best supports your goals.
