Background and approach

Conversations centre on building clearer thinking around distressing moments and on repairing the ways people relate to others and themselves. Her background includes four years working with people dealing with anxiety, panic, low mood and trauma. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and on Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns.

Solution-Focused techniques are used to spot strengths and map achievable steps. Maham holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers culturally sensitive care and pays attention to how culture and faith can affect emotional life.

Sessions take practical aims – reducing panic attacks, improving communication, managing grief, or finding clearer career direction. Work is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs, with an emphasis on small, workable changes.

How her approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and panic.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then combine methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative, with plans reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or flexible exchanges outside a scheduled call, making it simpler to fit therapy around work or family commitments.
