About Naghma
Naghma Ferdos uses a practical, person-focused approach to counselling. She believes people bring strengths to therapy and that small steps can make real change. Naghma welcomes clients who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes.
She has ten years of experience working in the mental health sector in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.
How Naghma works
She also has experience related to parenting challenges, anger, and coping with cancer and immigration-related stress. Naghma draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centred ideas to listen and respond to what matters most.
She blends cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are used to build coping strategies and set small, achievable goals. These methods are chosen to suit the person sitting in the room, not as a fixed package.
She notes the importance of cultural context and multilingual support. Sessions can be held in English, and she understands multicultural concerns and the stresses that come with moving countries or adapting to a new culture. Naghma aims to create straightforward, steady support that clients can use day to day.

Practical approaches for online counselling and support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building on a person’s own strengths. Sessions aim to give space to what matters most and help people feel heard before making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood and includes clear steps and exercises to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work together with each client to decide what fits best. That choice is based on the client’s goals, day-to-day life and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer discussions and a sense of face-to-face contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections. These options make it easier to book around work, travel or caring responsibilities and support consistent progress over time.
