About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen offers calm, practical support for adults feeling overwhelmed by worry, low mood, or past hurts. She focuses on simple, useful strategies that fit into everyday life. Sessions aim to help people regain steady ground and move toward things that matter to them.
Najma has 19 years of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addictions. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief and work-related burnout.
Background and approach
Her approach treats each person as a whole rather than a list of symptoms. Therapy is collaborative and tailored. Najma draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to build coping skills and improve emotional awareness.
She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred practice when they suit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical tools - breathing and grounding, emotion regulation skills, behavioural experiments and values-based goals. Najma helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop routines that support daily functioning and motivation.
She offers sessions in English and Tamil for people located in Australia, and provides video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment to discuss needs and goals.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Najma uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to move toward valued actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes.She also works with Attachment-Based Therapy to strengthen emotional connection patterns and to understand how past relationships shape present reactions. This approach often helps with trust, codependency and relationship communication issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Najma works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values and everyday life. She adapts exercises and tools as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of grounding or breathing techniques. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or people who want to work in writing. These options aim to offer flexibility so therapy fits around work, parenting and other commitments.
