Amal Saddawi, BACP

Amal Saddawi helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers calm, respectful support and meets each person where they are. Conversations are tailored to the individual, with a focus on practical next steps and steady progress.

With 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Amal draws on a range of psychological approaches to suit different needs. She adapts sessions to a person’s pace and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Expect a collaborative tone and clear suggestions you can try between meetings.

Amal works with issues such as communication problems, control struggles, divorce and separation, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, hoarding, immigration challenges, isolation, jealousy, life-purpose questions, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. Her practice pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Amal explains approaches plainly and decides together with each person which tools to use.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and she accepts international clients. Amal is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the advertised process.

How Amal uses different approaches in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage mood and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amal will discuss options and test what helps most. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and life situation rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep continuity when travel or relocation happens. It may allow shorter check-ins when needed, and it can be a good option for those who prefer not to commute. Please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
