About Asma

Asma Amjad is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-led support. She aims to help people who feel stressed, anxious, low or unsure how to move forward. Asma uses an integrative approach so sessions can be shaped around each person’s needs and goals.

She draws on 15 years of experience working with people from varied backgrounds. That experience includes common struggles such as relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and anger or control issues.

In sessions she helps people talk through what is happening now and find manageable steps forward. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused work depending on what suits the person. The work can be short term problem-solving or longer term support for deeper patterns such as attachment or abandonment concerns.

Asma is registered with NCPS, which appears as NCPS in her credentials. She offers therapy in English and Urdu and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression and commitment or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress-related issues.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back so the person feels understood. This approach helps build confidence and self-esteem, and it can be useful when someone is dealing with grief, trauma-related feelings or identity concerns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. That shared planning helps ensure sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you need particular session formats, confirm the options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
