Naasirah Hamid

Naasirah Hamid is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Naasirah also focuses on attachment issues, body image, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.

Her approach is conversational and client-centred. Sessions prioritise what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens for patterns in relationships and mood, then uses that information to shape practical next steps. The therapist combines attachment-based ideas with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when they fit the client's situation.

In a typical meeting Naasirah will invite the person to describe the immediate problem and what they want to change. She then helps identify small, doable actions and thought habits to try between sessions. Expect clear explanations and straightforward exercises, rather than abstract theory.

Her five years of experience include helping people through separation, shifts in identity, and times when life feels directionless. Naasirah encourages exploration of values and goals alongside addressing symptoms like anxiety or low mood. She works in English and does not take international clients.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In practice this means she pays attention to relationship habits, trust, and how people respond to closeness or distance, which can be useful for relationship worries and attachment issues.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting what the client says. The therapist invites the person to lead the conversation, clarifies concerns, and helps them name their priorities and values. This approach suits someone unsure what matters next or who wants an exploratory tone.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and actions. She uses CBT techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try practical experiments or behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and together they decide which ideas to try first. That collaborative process adapts as goals and preferences become clearer.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, or join from elsewhere when stepping out at a break suits their schedule.
