About Naghma
Naghma Ferdos is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and draws on cognitive behavioural and mindfulness methods. She holds NCPS and brings ten years of practical experience in mental health work in the United Kingdom. Naghma speaks English and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.
She focuses on everyday pressures such as stress and anxiety. She also helps with relationship challenges, anger, grief and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Therapy sessions can include practical strategies to build confidence and cope with life changes. Naghma uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. She combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage strong emotions and notice the present moment. Her experience includes roles within the NHS and other mental health organisations. Over the years she has supported people facing trauma, domestic violence, separation and immigration-related stress.
She also works with issues connected to cancer, codependency and control concerns. Sessions are practical and paced to suit the individual. Naghma encourages small steps and simple changes that add up over time.
She invites people who are ready to begin to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book sessions according to therapist availability.

How counselling approaches translate online
Naghma blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building trust, so the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical ways to test different responses when anxiety or unhelpful thinking gets in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naghma will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and together they will pick methods that feel useful. This makes sessions collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and allow continuity for international clients and those with busy schedules.
