About Najma
Najma Haja Alaudeen is an AASW counsellor who helps adults feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and everyday strain. She offers calm, practical support and treats each person as a whole rather than a list of symptoms. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, so people can take steps that fit their life.
Najma helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also works with addiction, anger and the effects of past abuse. Sessions focus on what’s happening now and what small changes might make life feel more manageable. Her approach draws on Systemic therapy to look at relationships and patterns, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action.
She also uses Attachment-based and client-centred ideas to strengthen connection and understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are applied when practical skills are needed. Over 19 years Najma has developed straightforward ways to plan goals and test new behaviours.
She and the client set realistic steps and adjust them as progress happens. Sessions aim to leave people with plain tools to cope between meetings. Najma offers sessions in English and Tamil and works with adults in Australia.
Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The goal is approachable therapy that fits into a busy life.

Online support
How Najma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Systemic therapy looks at the patterns between people and the roles they play. Online sessions can help identify repeating cycles and test new ways of relating, especially when communication patterns are the concern.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps people tolerate difficult thoughts while moving toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connection affects present relationships and supports building safer ways to relate.
Najma will discuss which approach or combination might suit you best. Choosing the right approach is a shared process that depends on your goals, day-to-day needs and personal preferences. She works collaboratively to try strategies and adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer discussion. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Chat and messaging suit quick updates, scheduling flexibility or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy days, while still using the practical tools and steps discussed in sessions.
