About Amaleed
Amaleed Alwan is a counsellor who supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She helps with motivation, confidence and life transitions, and works with people concerned about trauma, ADHD and relationship tensions. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and she accepts international clients.
Amaleed creates a calm space where clients can speak openly about what they are going through. She focuses on listening without judgement and on practical steps people can try between sessions. The work tends to be collaborative, with the client setting goals and Amaleed guiding progress.
Her background includes six years of professional experience and the credential NCPS, which is listed as her qualification. That experience informs a range of approaches she uses in sessions.
She draws on methods such as Motivational Interviewing to help people build their own reasons for change, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and handle painful thoughts, and attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present ones. Cognitive Behavioural techniques are used when helpful to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Work often involves short practical exercises, chance to reflect on feelings, and planning small experiments to test new ways of coping. Amaleed supports people through endings, caregiving strain, body image worries and immigration-related stress alongside core concerns like depression and anxiety.
If someone is unsure whether this approach fits, Amaleed encourages an initial conversation to talk about goals and expectations before arranging further sessions.

How different approaches work online with your counsellor
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for things like improving mood, managing ADHD or increasing confidence.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and to act in line with what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early close relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion. This can be useful for communication problems, commitment worries and feeling emotionally empty.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, reduce commuting time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or reduced visual demands are preferred, for example using audio rather than video. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered when booking to match sessions to your routine and needs. -
