About Amal

Amal Saddawi helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression. She works in a straightforward way and aims to make appointments feel manageable for someone under pressure. Amal speaks English and Arabic and practises from the United Kingdom.

With 15 years of experience, Amal focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She listens first, then tailors sessions to the person's needs. Therapy can include thinking exercises, breathing and grounding techniques, and talking through difficult memories at a pace that suits the client.

Background and approach

Amal uses a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. These methods help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build on what matters to them. She also draws on skills from dialectical work and EMDR where appropriate.

She aims to create a respectful and sensitive space for people from different backgrounds. Amal pays attention to multicultural concerns and the way migration or identity can affect wellbeing. Conversations cover practical problems like communication, control issues, separation and addictive behaviours as well as emotional struggles.

Sessions are designed to support steady progress rather than quick fixes. Amal encourages clients to set achievable goals and to practise new skills between sessions. Her approach is collaborative and paced around each person’s comfort and readiness.

How Amal's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and to act in line with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small experiments to change patterns; it often helps with mood and worry. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the intensity of painful memories by working through them in a structured way, which can help after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amal will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process means adapting techniques to the person's goals, pace and comfort level rather than using a fixed programme.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow conversational depth and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break and need less bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to continue care even when meeting in person is difficult.
