About Naasirah
Counsellor Naasirah Hamid is a BACP-registered practitioner with five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Naasirah offers calm, focused sessions that concentrate on what matters most to the client.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is led by the person seeking help, with the counsellor providing attentive listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them. Attachment-Based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships and feelings of safety.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Naasirah helps people talk things through, set manageable goals and try small changes between sessions. She addresses issues such as body image, social anxiety, isolation, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, divorce and questions about life purpose.
Her style is attentive and direct. People can expect a conversation that balances talking, reflecting and practical steps. Naasirah works in UK counselling settings and explains BACP as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The payment model uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with fees that vary by location.
Approaches used in online counselling and what to expect
Naasirah uses Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead, which helps when someone needs time to find their words. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tries practical experiments to change them, useful for anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based work pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with relationship problems and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs and try methods that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process where plans can change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a lunch break or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to help people continue therapy when in-person attendance is difficult.
