Najma Haja Alaudeen, AASW

Najma Haja Alaudeen brings a calm, collaborative approach to therapy, offering practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, burnout, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns. With a focus on seeing each person as a whole rather than a set of symptoms, she works alongside clients to develop realistic strategies and coping tools that fit everyday life.

Najma supports people managing persistent worry, low motivation, the ongoing effects of past experiences and the self-doubt that can hold them back. She also assists with executive function challenges related to ADHD, mood shifts, parenting stress, burnout and common relationship struggles. Sessions emphasise tailored, practical techniques designed around the client’s goals and routines.

Her style is flexible and collaborative, drawing on evidence-informed methods while avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions. Najma encourages people to begin therapy even when life feels imperfect, and she guides them through incremental change at a manageable pace. She holds the AASW credential and works in English and Tamil, offering a supportive space for adults seeking compassionate, goal-oriented help.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Najma often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and to commit to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns of relating and emotion regulation - it can help with relationship problems, attachment issues and patterns that repeat over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Najma works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work unfolds to ensure a good match.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These formats make it easier to access regular care from home or other convenient locations, and they allow Najma to offer consistent, goal-focused support tailored to each person’s routine and availability. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can use these approaches effectively in online settings, and therapists will work with clients to find the best way of meeting their needs.
