About Amal
Amal Saddawi is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing problems such as communication breakdowns, control issues, separation and questions about life purpose.
Amal keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through how their difficulties show up day to day. Conversations cover coping strategies, emotions, and patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions can include reflection, skill practice and actions to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That means she may work on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, building emotion regulation skills, or addressing distress linked to past events. The specific mix depends on each person’s situation.
Amal speaks English and Arabic and can work with international clients. She offers sessions through the service's online process; the subscription model is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary by location.
To begin, people use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The first meeting focuses on what is most pressing and practical next steps.
How Amal uses therapeutic methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking values-based steps. It can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce distress linked to difficult memories and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amal will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
The service uses an online matching and scheduling process, so confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules demand it. They can also let people work with a therapist who speaks English or Arabic even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals guide the selection of methods and practical arrangements to fit daily life.
