About Amaleed
Counsellor Amaleed Alwan is a member of NCPS with six years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, depression, ADHD and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Amaleed uses plain, direct conversation to help people talk through what is troubling them. She draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and on noticing patterns of thought and behaviour that make day-to-day life harder.
Her background includes work with people dealing with family and relationship challenges, blended family issues, caregiver stress and immigration-related concerns. She also helps with body image, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice related problems. These areas are often discussed alongside core issues like trauma, grief and low mood.
Amaleed often combines ACT processes for values and action with CBT techniques to manage anxious thoughts. She also brings attachment-informed understanding to relationship and parenting concerns. The work tends to be conversational and practical, with space to reflect on feelings and to try new ways of coping.
Sessions follow a clear structure and aim to leave people with simple tools to try between meetings. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and commit to actions that match personal priorities, which can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical experiments to test them. It is often used for stress, anxiety and depression by teaching techniques to change thinking and behaviour in day-to-day situations.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others. It can help when relationship problems, communication difficulties or fatherhood and blended family issues are part of a person's distress.
Finding the right approach is something the therapist does together with the client. She will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those aims. Sessions can change over time as needs shift and as practical skills are learned.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins or choose audio rather than video where that helps, depending on what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can make these arrangements to suit everyday life and commitments.
