Aisha Tasneem, BACP

Aisha Tasneem offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life transitions. She helps with relationship strain, grief and bereavement, issues around self-esteem, and difficulties linked to trauma, addiction and intimacy. Aisha is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, and she writes plainly and directly in sessions to help people feel understood and able to act.

With five years' experience, she uses an integrative way of working. This means she draws on several counselling approaches and adapts them to each person's needs. Sessions focus on what matters now - coping skills, clearer communication, or ways to manage painful memories and strong emotions.

Aisha helps people address specific concerns such as parenting stresses, career pressures, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues like attachment difficulties, codependency, chronic illness and bereavement after loss. Conversations tend to be practical, with space to reflect on meaning and values when that feels useful.

Her process is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests steps you can try between sessions. That can include simple behavioural experiments, values-based actions, or ways to notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Progress is reviewed together so plans stay relevant.

People who choose Aisha often want a calm, respectful space to make sense of hard moments and to try small, realistic changes. She aims to help people feel more able to cope, make decisions, and move forward at a pace that suits them.

How Aisha's approaches translate online

Aisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in line with their values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect their reactions and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Aisha will work together with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences and what proves helpful in early sessions. That might shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce time spent travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life feels hectic, and it may suit people who prefer not to be in the same room initially. The specific session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, so prospective clients should check the current options when they sign up.
