Naghma Ferdos, NCPS

Naghma Ferdos offers a warm, person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. She combines straightforward conversation with practical tools so people can face stress, anxiety and life changes with more confidence. Naghma uses short, manageable steps to help people notice change and build on their strengths.

She draws on client‑centred work to create a supportive space where people feel heard. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help shift unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness skills to reduce day‑to‑day tension. Solution‑focused techniques help set realistic goals and move forward between sessions.

Across a decade of practice she has supported people through relationship strain, trauma and abuse, bereavement and parenting pressures. She also works with issues such as self‑esteem, anger, codependency and attachment concerns. Additional focus includes immigration issues, multicultural concerns and the emotional impact of serious illness such as cancer.

Naghma is registered with NCPS, and she offers sessions from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and is able to support international clients when arrangements are agreed. Sessions are offered in formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Her way of working is collaborative and goal‑oriented. Clients and therapist agree small, practical steps and review progress together. Naghma aims to keep sessions clear and down to earth, so people can use what they learn in their daily lives.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's view of their life. It creates a non‑judgemental space where the counsellor follows the person's lead and reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These approaches can help with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try techniques together. This collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker check‑ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, written reflection and ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy days, while keeping the focus on steady, usable progress.
