About Aishah
Aishah Elgindy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among the concerns she addresses, along with parenting, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related problems.
Aishah trained in bereavement counselling within the NHS and in an antenatal centre that supports women and children. She has spent over four years in mental health recovery services and has experience supporting people diagnosed with Autism spectrum conditions, OCD, ADHD, depression and anxiety.
Her working style is grounded in person-centred practice. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on listening without judgement. She also brings mentoring and life coaching elements when clients want practical steps and short-term planning.
Typical concerns she helps people talk through include coping with loss, navigating family conflict, dealing with trauma and managing stress and low mood. She also supports people facing fertility challenges, body image and eating-related issues, and separation or divorce-related stress.
Aishah aims to help clients build clearer communication, set manageable goals and develop everyday coping skills. Sessions use plain language and practical suggestions alongside reflective listening. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
A person-centred approach puts the client’s concerns at the centre. The counsellor listens attentively, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s lead. This approach supports people who need to be heard and who want to make sense of difficult feelings such as grief, anxiety or family strain.Mindfulness therapy focuses on simple present-moment practices and attention skills. It can help when stress, sleep problems or rumination are getting in the way of everyday life by teaching short exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide what feels most useful. That might be person-centred listening at first, followed by solution-focused steps or mindfulness exercises.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy home life easier, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around a lunch break, or offering sessions where being on camera is not required. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, short-term planning and reflective listening to an online setting so the work fits everyday routines.
