Asma Amjad , NCPS

Asma Amjad is a conscientious and compassionate counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She has worked with clients from diverse ethnic backgrounds and many age groups, helping them rebuild confidence, manage difficult emotions, and find clearer ways to move forward when life feels stuck.

Asma adopts an integrative approach, drawing on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-informed tools to tailor support to each person’s needs. She does not rely on a single model for everyone but selects techniques that fit the individual, whether the work is short-term or longer term. Her practice focuses on issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue, along with related concerns like attachment, codependency, and chronic illness.

She is accredited with NCPS, indicating recognition by The National Counselling Society, and offers services in English and Urdu. Asma provides a non-judgemental space for clients to explore their concerns and works collaboratively to create practical steps toward change. She is currently accepting clients, including international clients, and offers a range of remote session formats.

Approaches and online support for everyday challenges

Asma commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them while identifying personal values that guide meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills, often used for anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-exploration and growth, which can be especially useful for relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Asma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living outside her immediate area. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
