About Asma
Asma Amjad is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works in a straightforward way so clients can start making small changes. She speaks English and Urdu and has 15 years of experience supporting people from different backgrounds in the United Kingdom.
Her style is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches to match the way she works to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help clients notice what matters to them, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build practical skills to cope day to day. Asma has a National Counselling Society credential (NCPS). She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs.
Many people come with worries about grief, trauma, addiction, sleep or eating problems, or feeling low and overwhelmed by stress. In sessions she keeps the tone non-judgemental and practical. Conversations are used to identify clear goals and small steps forward.
She also supports people dealing with attachment or intimacy concerns, anger, caregiving strain and chronic health issues. People who choose to work with her can expect help in spotting patterns that maintain distress and building daily habits that reduce it. The first meetings focus on what matters most now and on agreeing a simple plan for progress.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-led steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and lingering worries that stop someone moving forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going; it often includes simple exercises to practise between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before, then agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision is revisited as you progress so the approach fits changing needs.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
