About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen is an AASW social worker with 19 years of experience supporting adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger and coping with life changes.
Najma explains problems in plain terms and works alongside people to find practical steps. Sessions focus on real-life tools for managing worry, low motivation, mood shifts and difficulties with focus or executive functioning. She also gives practical guidance for relationship strain, parenting stress and burnout.
Her way of working mixes talking, learning new skills and planning small changes. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance-based work to help people notice what matters and act on it. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationships still affect present choices.
Najma keeps sessions collaborative. Clients can expect concrete coping strategies, simple experiments to try between sessions and check-ins about what is or isn’t working. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps forward.
The practice suits adults looking for down-to-earth support during difficult life transitions. Najma speaks English and Tamil and works with people in Australia who want steady, pragmatic help to manage everyday pressures and recover a sense of control.
How Najma’s approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when past hurts keep showing up in close relationships or when trust and boundaries are hard to maintain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Najma will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. That way sessions adjust as progress is made and practical needs change.
