Asma Amjad
Practical, flexible counselling for everyday challenges
About Asma
Asma Amjad is a counsellor who combines practical therapies to help people feel more like themselves. She draws on 15 years of experience and uses clear, straightforward methods. She speaks English and Urdu and practices in the United Kingdom.
Asma focuses on stress, anxiety and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar difficulties. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related worries. Other areas she addresses include sleeping and eating problems, anger, low self esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her style is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to match what each person needs. Sessions aim to build confidence, spot practical steps forward and develop coping skills that fit everyday life.
People consult her about long-standing patterns like attachment or avoidant personality traits, codependency, control and commitment issues, or the effects of chronic illness and caregiving stress. She also supports those coping with divorce, domestic violence, abandonment or substance concerns. Asma offers short-term focused work and longer-term therapy depending on what someone wants.
Her manner is non-judgemental and steady, helping people talk through difficult topics and try different ways of managing day-to-day challenges.

How Asma’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without spending energy fighting them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and struggles with motivation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to find small practical changes that ease distress. This approach often helps with depression, anxiety, sleeping and eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will listen to goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the person’s situation and adjust over time.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility and accessibility for people in different places and circumstances.
