Background and approach

She brings that varied experience into each session. Naziha uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working. Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to the person and what small steps could help.

She combines structured skills with room to talk through feelings and problems. Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural strategies. These tools are used in simple, concrete ways - for example learning new coping skills, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and practising kindness towards yourself.

Naziha speaks English and Arabic. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone and practical suggestions they can try between sessions. She encourages shared decision-making so the work matches each person’s goals and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help with anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practising practical behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve coping. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit each person. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face style conversation, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
