Amal Saddawi, BACP

Amal Saddawi is a United Kingdom based therapist with 15 years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also addresses communication problems, control issues, addiction, isolation and loneliness, immigration concerns, obsessive and compulsive patterns, and a variety of mood and relationship-related issues.

Amal emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s individual needs. She draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients explore their values, build practical coping skills, and work through painful memories or patterns that limit wellbeing. Amal frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering support and encouragement as people take the often-difficult first steps toward greater motivation, clearer direction, and improved emotional balance.

Fluent in English and Arabic, she welcomes clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. Amal aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes at their own pace while tailoring interventions to their goals, cultural context, and personal strengths.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and struggles with life purpose. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping to build self-understanding, confidence, and better decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

Amal works collaboratively with clients to find the best therapeutic approach, combining elements from these methods as needed. She assesses individual needs, goals, and preferences and guides clients toward interventions that fit their situation and cultural context. The choice of approach is part of the therapy process and can be reviewed as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Amal is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or distance. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and to continue therapy in ways that suit each person’s daily life and communication preferences.
