About Asma

Asma Amjad is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 15 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel stressed, anxious, low or unsure how to move forward, and she lists concerns such as relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and anger.

She works with people from a range of ethnic backgrounds. Sessions focus on practical ways to talk through what is happening now and to build clearer next steps. Asma uses conversational techniques so clients can reflect on patterns and try new responses between sessions.

Her approach is integrative rather than one-size-fits-all. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred listening, selecting methods that fit the person's situation. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used where they help the immediate aim.

Typical work includes spotting unhelpful thoughts, practising small behaviour changes, and developing values-based goals. For people struggling with anger this can mean learning to notice early warning signs, pause before reacting, and try practical coping steps in stressful moments.

Asma is comfortable working with issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, body image and caregiving stress in addition to mood and addiction problems. She offers sessions in English and Urdu and accepts international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps in that direction. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and values-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing small behaviour changes to reduce stress and unhelpful reactions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises attentive listening and reflection so people feel heard and can explore what they want to change.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then agree which techniques to try. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions emphasise skills practice, reflective listening, or short solution-focused tasks.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness or behavioural exercises at home between meetings, which supports practical progress without promising a specific outcome.
