About Najamulsahr

She has 15 years of professional experience and shifted from earlier medical training to focus on psychotherapy full time.

She works with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. Family and relationship concerns are also a core part of her practice, including communication problems and divorce or separation.

Background and approach

Najam brings experience with childhood trauma and post-traumatic stress to sessions when relevant. Najam often incorporates mindfulness and hypnotherapy to match a person’s needs. She tries to make sessions practical and grounded, helping clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Conversations are paced to each person’s comfort level. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Topics such as self-love, life purpose, and forgiveness also come up in her work.

Najam aims to create a space where people can speak openly and begin to sort things out. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. Najam communicates clearly about goals and next steps so families and individuals can see progress over time.

She encourages small, steady changes that add up to better daily functioning and calmer relationships.

Evidence-informed approaches for online family and relationship work

Najam commonly uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and become less reactive. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills that can reduce overwhelming feelings and improve focus in daily interactions.

She also integrates hypnotherapy techniques to support relaxation and new ways of thinking about painful memories or habits. When used alongside talk therapy, these techniques can help clients access calmer states and try different responses in relationships and family settings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Najam works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative method helps clarify what is most helpful for the client and their family context.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote sessions. Najam provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. These formats make it easier to stay consistent with therapy and to continue work between appointments.
