About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen offers calm, practical support for adults feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on helping people manage worry, low mood, trauma, attention difficulties and everyday stress in a straightforward, compassionate way. Sessions are a chance to be seen as a whole person rather than a list of symptoms.
Najma works with clients to build simple strategies that fit their life. She keeps conversations focused and practical so people can try small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work covers anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD and burnout. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief and recovery from addictions. When concerns are complex, she addresses co-occurring issues and practical coping skills together.
Najma draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She combines these with client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person’s needs. The emphasis is on understanding emotional patterns and trying new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings.
With 19 years' experience, Najma aims to make therapy accessible and useful. She speaks English and Tamil and sees people in Australia. Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work depending on the person's goals and pace.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Najma uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and express core emotions that keep them stuck. EFT aims to shift difficult emotional patterns so people can respond differently to stress and relationship strain.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice hard thoughts and commit to small actions that align with their values. Attachment-Based ideas guide her work when early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Najma works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on emotional processing, on behavioural experiments, or a mix of approaches over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, between-session coaching or when someone needs to work through things in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
