About Amaleed

Amaleed Alwan helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, motivation and ADHD using person-focused talking therapy. She works in English and Arabic and has six years' experience. Amaleed is registered with NCPS.

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). In sessions she encourages clear, honest discussion about what is worrying or getting in the way of daily life. Practical strategies and simple exercises are offered alongside reflective conversation.

Amaleed helps people manage grief and loss and cope with life changes by pacing sessions around what someone can handle. She also works on relationship patterns linked to attachment, and on common problems such as communication, control issues and commitment concerns. Sessions can include goal-focused coaching for motivation and confidence.

For people dealing with trauma, she combines coping skills with careful pacing to avoid overwhelming discussion. For anxiety and stress she uses CBT and DBT techniques to teach calm-down strategies and behaviour changes. ACT is used to help people notice thoughts and refocus on valued actions.

Amaleed can support those facing family-related strain, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, immigration-related worries, and body image or identity difficulties. She aims to work in a collaborative way, checking progress and adjusting focus as needed.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that matter to them; it can help with low motivation, anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current communication and trust, which can be useful for blended family issues and fatherhood concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person talking through their concerns while the counsellor follows and reflects what matters most to them. Together they set aims and check progress, so choosing the right approach is part of the work rather than something fixed at the start.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss which methods might help, try practical techniques and adjust the plan according to goals and preferences. This means sessions can shift between skills practice, reflective conversation and short coaching tasks as needed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work by talking and doing exercises rather than attending in person.
