About Asma
Asma Amjad is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people feeling stressed, anxious, low or unsure how to move forward. Her biography lists anger among the concerns she helps with, alongside relationship, family, trauma and abuse, depression and addictions.
She uses an integrative stance, drawing on several methods rather than one fixed model. That means she adapts the way she works to what people bring to sessions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas when those approaches fit.
In practical terms she aims to help people talk through what is getting in the way and build clearer ways of responding. Sessions are described in her biography as suitable for short-term or longer-term work, depending on what the person wants. She has experience with people from different ethnic backgrounds and a variety of age ranges.
Her listed focus areas include intimacy and self-esteem difficulties, grief and caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, chronic pain and illness, and substance-related problems. She also notes work around attachment, abandonment, codependency and control issues.
Asma offers sessions in English and Urdu and accepts international clients. She works as a counsellor registered with NCPS and uses an approach intended to match methods to the client rather than insisting on a single technique.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters. It can help with anxiety, rumination and anger that keeps recurring. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles; it suits problems like low mood, anxiety and anger that shows up in daily situations. Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt the approach. That collaborative testing helps people see what fits rather than committing to one single method from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online sessions helpful for fitting talking therapy into a busy life - for example they can be scheduled during a lunch break, avoid travel time, or be shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to practise CBT exercises between sessions and to use mindfulness practices during the week.
