About Amal
Amal Saddawi helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She is a counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Amal speaks English and Arabic and aims to offer calm, respectful support as people take steps toward change.
She keeps conversation simple and focused. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Amal uses practical tools and reflective listening so people can make small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her background includes a BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over 15 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including communication problems, control issues, substance difficulties, and multicultural challenges. Amal draws on several therapeutic approaches depending on what will help most.
She uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among other methods, and she tailors these to the client rather than following a fixed script. People coming to Amal can expect a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings. She aims to support practical steps for coping, managing mood, and rebuilding confidence.
The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s readiness for change.

Online support
How Amal uses different approaches online
Amal commonly uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing to help people process past traumatic events and reduce the intensity of distressing memories. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes that improve mood and coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build actions that matter, even when uncomfortable feelings remain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amal will discuss options and adapt techniques to fit each person's goals and preferences. The decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to access regular care from different locations and to choose what matches day-to-day life.
