About Amal
Amal Saddawi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Arabic and brings 15 years of experience to her work.
Amal aims for a respectful and sensitive space. She listens without judgement and adjusts conversations to match each person's needs. She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several established methods. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness ideas to help people stay calm in difficult moments. She also uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people identify values and take manageable steps towards them.
Amal will tailor a plan together with each person. That may include skills for managing strong emotions, strategies to improve communication, or paced trauma work when needed. She supports people struggling with addiction, control issues, obsessive thoughts, cultural or immigration concerns, and problems linked to separation or divorce.
Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and international clients are accepted. Therapy is delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking a session.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values. It often involves learning to make space for difficult feelings rather than fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to change mood and reactions. It is practical and often includes exercises between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when trauma memories are causing distress and can involve structured processing to reduce their intensity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amal will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals and comfort level. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so plans can change if something is not helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life or travel, and make it possible to connect across different countries.
