About Amaleed
Amaleed Alwan is a counsellor registered as NCPS with six years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her practice also lists support for depression, coping with life changes and ADHD, and she offers services in Arabic as well as English.
She prefers a straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, patterns that keep problems going, and small steps clients can take between meetings. Practical tools from therapies such as cognitive behavioural work and emotion-focused methods are used alongside listening to what each person brings.
Amaleed draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. She also uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match their values. Dialectical and client-centred ways of working appear in her practice to support emotional regulation and a non-judgemental listening stance.
Her background includes several years working with people experiencing grief, trauma, and family-related stresses. She names additional focus areas like blended family issues, caregiver strain, body image, commitment and communication problems, and immigration-related stress. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in Arabic when helpful.

How different approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them, then choose actions that reflect what they value; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect emotion and behaviour, helping people understand patterns in close connections and improve how they respond to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which suits stress, anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities with the client and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques over time and adjusting what is used based on what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also let people choose whether to have video or other options where supported, depending on what fits their routine and comfort.
