About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen is an AASW social worker with 19 years of experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression and family concerns. She describes her work as practical and collaborative, focusing on everyday problems like low motivation, worry and parenting stress. Najma uses clear strategies rather than jargon and keeps sessions focused on what matters most now.
Many people come to her because experiences from childhood or family relationships still affect how they relate now. She works with attachment issues, abandonment feelings and the patterns that repeat across relationships. Najma also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, anger and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or burnout.
Her sessions blend several approaches to suit each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Client-Centred ways of listening so people feel heard. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Najma aims to build practical tools and simple routines you can use between sessions. That can include behavioural experiments, skills practice and steps to improve communication. She keeps plans short and realistic so they fit with family life and work commitments.
Sessions are offered in English and Tamil. People are asked to use the online matching steps on the site to select a session and book a first appointment. The process includes a short questionnaire to help match goals and preferences.
How Najma integrates approaches in online sessions
Najma commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and obsessive worries. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions towards those values, which can be useful for motivation, avoidance and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Najma treats this as a collaborative process and will check in about what methods feel most useful. She adapts the mix of skills and exercises to a person’s goals, energy and day-to-day demands so therapy stays practical and manageable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent momentum between sessions and practise new skills in their everyday life.
