About Asma
Asma Amjad is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low or unsure how to move forward. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
She uses a flexible approach rather than one fixed method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and REBT are part of the ways she works, alongside client-centred and mindfulness-based techniques. That means sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical ways to respond differently.
People come for short-term problem solving and for longer-term support. Common topics include depression, grief, addictions, self-esteem and sleeping or eating problems. She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, chronic illness stress, and difficulties after separation or domestic violence.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. The counsellor aims to help clients build skills they can use between meetings, such as behaviour changes, breathing and grounding exercises, and clearer ways to handle intense emotions.
Asma works with clients from various ethnic backgrounds and speaks English and Urdu. International clients are accepted. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Asma commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete behaviour changes, which suits problems like anxiety, sleep disruption and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing inner experience and choosing actions that match personal values, often helpful for chronic stress, grief and ongoing health-related challenges.The choice of approach is collaborative. She will discuss what feels most useful, try methods in session, and adapt based on what the client reports. Together they set goals and review what helps between meetings so the plan changes if needed.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult, and supports continuing therapy across different locations.
