Amaleed Alwan, NCPS

Amaleed Alwan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She offers straightforward support for low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and for people managing ADHD alongside everyday challenges. Sessions are offered in Arabic as well as English and she works with clients from the United Kingdom and internationally.

She uses an open, non-judgemental style that encourages people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Amaleed draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to tailor practical strategies to each person. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centred counselling when useful.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. She helps clients set clear, manageable steps and practices to try between sessions. Amaleed pays attention to relationship patterns, family dynamics and how past experiences affect present-day coping.

Amaleed holds NCPS, which denotes registration with that body. She has six years of experience working with the kinds of concerns listed above. People can expect calm, direct guidance and support aimed at building useful skills and clearer perspectives.

For practical issues Amaleed offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. She explains how each option can fit different routines and preferences so people can pick what works best.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting caught up in them, and to choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and on practising new ways of responding to stress and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns, and it helps people build more secure ways of relating and managing emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amaleed will discuss goals, preferences and the issues most pressing to the client, then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adapted over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, and messaging or live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change.
