About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen is an AASW social worker with 19 years of experience supporting adults in Australia. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger and the fallout from trauma. Conversations are plain and practical, focused on what is happening now and what can change next.
She helps people handle everyday strains like low motivation, parenting pressure and workplace burnout. She also helps with relationship difficulties, grief and addiction-related concerns. Sessions aim to produce simple, usable strategies to manage mood, impulsivity and overwhelming feelings.
Najma uses a collaborative style in sessions. She listens for how past experiences shape current reactions and then builds step-by-step coping tools. That might include noticing patterns, testing new behaviours, or practising skills between meetings.
Her approach draws on evidence-based techniques without jargon. Najma often blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioural tools and attachment-based thinking. The focus is on skills that fit into everyday life so people can try small changes quickly.
People who come for help with anger or persistent resentment will work on recognising triggers, slowing reactivity and choosing different responses. The work is straightforward and practical, with attention to boundaries, communication and self-regulation. To begin, she asks about current struggles and real-life goals so sessions are useful from the first meeting.
How sessions work
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions work
Najma commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while building committed action toward meaningful goals. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviour, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful reactions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relational patterns affect current responses, which can be helpful for anger and communication problems. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; Najma will help you try methods and pick what fits your goals and lifestyle.
The exact online session options are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer to focus on skill practice, sessions can concentrate on behavioural experiments and homework you can use between meetings.
