About Amaleed
Amaleed Alwan is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage their thoughts and everyday habits. She offers a calm, non-judgemental approach for those dealing with stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so busy people can fit therapy into their lives.
Amaleed works to create an open space where clients can say what they think and feel. She draws on cognitive and behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance-based and emotionally focused methods to help people tolerate difficult feelings and build clearer personal values.
Her practice covers trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, motivation and confidence, and attention difficulties such as ADHD. She also supports people facing family and blended family issues, immigration concerns, caregiver stress, and end-of-life or hospice-related feelings.
Amaleed has six years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She speaks Arabic in addition to English and works with international clients who can connect from the United Kingdom. She encourages practical goals, short-term strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Amaleed helps clients set realistic steps, practise new habits between sessions, and reflect on what is working. This makes change more likely to stick in daily life.

Approaches that guide online work and day-to-day change
Amaleed commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helping people examine their thoughts and everyday habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning to live with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and encourages practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions, especially when people feel stuck in repeated patterns. Together with the client she explores which approach fits best, and adapts methods to match goals and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around family, work and travel. Online appointments can make it easier to keep regular sessions, try brief check-ins between busy days, and use practical exercises at home. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they work for your routine and goals, helping you practise new habits between meetings.
