About Asma

Asma Amjad is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working. She focuses on helping people who feel stressed, anxious, low or unsure how to move forward. Sessions aim to build confidence and help people begin to feel like themselves again.

She has about 15 years of experience and has worked with people from many ethnic backgrounds. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through problems. The aim is to understand what matters to the person and to work on practical steps together.

Asma draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside other approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy. She tailors the way she works to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing long-term illness, caregiver stress, body image and attachment-related worries.

The first meetings typically focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps to try. Over time sessions can be short-term and solution-focused or longer and more exploratory depending on the individual’s needs. Asma holds the NCPS credential and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English and Urdu.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and offering acceptance and empathy. Online sessions using this approach mean the counsellor listens closely and helps the person set the pace and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and values, then take small steps that matter. Online ACT tends to use short exercises and real-life practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns and tries practical techniques to change them, often using homework tasks that suit daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Please confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep continuity when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and homework tasks to suit an online rhythm and the person’s everyday schedule.
