About Asma
Asma Amjad is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who combines practical talking therapy with kindness. She helps people who feel stressed, anxious, depressed or stuck. She listens without judgement and focuses on what will help someone feel more like themselves again.
She uses a flexible approach rather than one fixed method. That means she chooses strategies that suit the person and the problem. Common techniques include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness, client-centred listening and solution-focused steps.
How Asma works
People consult her for many concerns. These include relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, bipolar difficulties, anger, codependency and issues with attachment or abandonment.
Asma is registered with NCPS, the National Counselling Society. She works with clients in the United Kingdom and supports people who live abroad as well. Sessions are available in English and Urdu to suit different language needs.
Her practice offers a range of session formats to fit varied lives. You can meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She aims to help people move forward whether they want a short-term focus or longer-term support.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on chosen values and small committed actions to move life in a meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy creates a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and the counsellor reflects and listens closely.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will pick or blend approaches that fit the person's situation and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or hands-free chats, live chat can be quick for focused check-ins and text messages support ongoing short reflections between sessions. These options help people access therapy from different places and at different times while keeping the focus on practical progress.
