About Asma
Asma Amjad is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 15 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel stressed, anxious, low, or stuck and supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and addictive behaviours. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu, and she accepts international clients.
Asma prefers an integrative approach, drawing from methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred work and mindfulness. She adapts how she works to suit each person rather than following a single fixed method. That means sessions can focus on thinking patterns, present-moment awareness, values-based goals, or simpler practical steps depending on what helps most.
She has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups over her career. Typical issues she supports include depression, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, and intimacy-related problems. She also lists experience with attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and substance use concerns.
In a session Asma listens without judgement and helps clients set clear, manageable aims. Practical techniques and short-term strategies are used when they suit the client. At other times the focus is on exploring feelings and patterns that keep someone feeling stuck.
People often come to her wanting either short-term focussed work or longer-term talking support. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book their first appointment through the online options provided.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It often suits clients coping with anxiety, avoidance or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and some mood difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on being listened to and understood so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide whether short-term focused work or longer-term talking best fits the situation. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. They also let people pick formats that suit their energy levels - for example a shorter phone check-in when concentration is low, or a video session for a fuller conversational hour.
