About Amaleed

Amaleed Alwan is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and she accepts international clients.

Amaleed uses clear, practical methods to talk through what is causing distress. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and small steps toward them. Attachment-based ideas also inform how she looks at difficult relationships and feelings of disconnection.

In a meeting with Amaleed, clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical exercises. She often focuses on skills that can be used between sessions, such as grounding techniques and short experiments to test new behaviours. Work on self-esteem and motivation includes small, measurable goals and feedback.

She also offers support around family and caregiving stress, blended family issues, fatherhood matters, and immigration-related concerns. Other areas she addresses include body image, guilt and shame, dissociation, and coping with life changes and bereavement.

Amaleed’s approach combines elements from Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. This mix aims to balance practical skills with time to reflect on emotions. Prospective clients are advised to confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple experiments to test different ways of thinking. It often helps with anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when they prefer not to be on camera, or plan exercises that suit their home routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these flexibilities to help sessions fit everyday life.
