About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen is an AASW social worker with 19 years of experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and self-esteem problems. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addictions and coping with life changes.
Najma uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and try new ways of responding. Sessions focus on small, doable strategies that fit daily life rather than abstract ideas.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including anger, compassion fatigue, attachment issues and blended family difficulties. She also addresses problems such as codependency, communication difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. These topics are handled with straightforward tools and reflective conversation.
Najma draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques. She mixes problem-solving, skills practice and values-based goals to help people manage symptoms and move forward. The approach is collaborative and paced to a person’s readiness.
People who prefer a structured, practical approach tend to find her style useful. The first sessions focus on clarifying goals and testing simple strategies. Subsequent meetings build on what works and adjust approaches as needed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Najma commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take practical steps that align with those values even when feelings are difficult.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions, which can help with relationship and attachment issues. These methods are described and tested together so the person can see what fits their situation and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Najma works collaboratively to decide whether CBT, ACT or attachment work is best for a person’s goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.
