Naziha Masri, AASW
Calm, practical social worker focused on wellbeing
About Naziha
Naziha Masri is an AASW-accredited social worker based in Australia. She has three years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety and life transitions. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak about what matters and take steady steps forward.
Naziha uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first, then offers simple tools and exercises that can be used between meetings. Her approach blends body-focused awareness with conversation so people notice how thoughts and sensations are connected.
Background and approach
People often come to her for help with parenting strain, low self-esteem, career uncertainty or coping after loss. She also supports those dealing with trauma, chronic health challenges and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to build clarity, practical coping strategies and small, achievable goals.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred principles. She encourages mindfulness and grounding practices that can be used in everyday moments. The goal is to help people find values-driven choices and more ease in daily life.
Naziha offers sessions in English and Arabic. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that suits them. She explains what to expect and works alongside people as they try new ways of coping and relating.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed work brings attention to bodily sensations and breath. It helps people notice where stress shows up in the body and learn simple grounding or movement practices to reduce physical tension. This can be especially useful for anxiety, trauma responses and chronic pain.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small, workable steps. It uses mindfulness and committed action to help people move toward what matters, even when difficult feelings are present. This approach fits well for career decisions, low motivation and life changes.
Naziha views the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they adapt techniques so the work matches daily life and practical constraints.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or distance. They also let people practise grounding and mindfulness in the same environments where they live and work, helping new skills stick.
