Aishah Elgindy, BACP

Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor with ten years' experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strains. She also works with clients dealing with eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem and life changes, and those seeking coaching or help with ADHD. She is a registered member of the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked in the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and in a specialist antenatal centre for women and children. She has over four years' experience in mental health recovery work. Her main approach is person-centred counselling, which means she aims to listen closely and follow each person's pace. She combines that with other ways of working, including mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused methods when helpful. She has experience supporting women who have diagnoses such as Asperger’s syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety. She also helps people navigate family conflict, postnatal and antenatal depression, loss of a child, and other bereavement-related challenges. In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences and practical worries. She also draws on mentoring and life-coaching skills to help people set goals and take small steps forward. International clients may be accepted; confirm arrangements before booking.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows your pace, reflecting what you say and helping you make sense of difficult feelings. This approach can be useful for grief, low mood and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by building steady attention and calmer responses. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps. This is a collaborative process where your feedback guides the plan. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it simpler to join from another location. If you are an international client, confirm current arrangements and available session options before booking so you know what format will be used.
