About Aishah
Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor and BACP member with ten years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around relationships, intimacy and identity. She also helps those facing parenting concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, addictions, ADHD and life changes.
Her approach is person-centred, which means she aims to hear each person’s experience and respond to what matters to them. She blends that with practical coaching and mentoring when useful.
Background and approach
Sessions are organised around the client’s goals and pace rather than a fixed agenda. She has worked in bereavement services within the NHS and in an antenatal counselling centre for women and children. She has also supported people in mental health recovery services for several years, and has experience supporting women with postnatal and antenatal depression.
Her experience includes supporting people with autism spectrum conditions, obsessive-compulsive traits, ADHD and mood difficulties. She also works with the effects of family conflict, separation, domestic violence, loss and infertility-related distress. In sessions she focuses on creating a welcoming space where people can talk without feeling judged.
The aim is to clarify what you want to change, try small steps, and build on strengths over time. For many clients this practical, conversational style helps them feel less stuck and more able to cope.

How Aishah works online
Mindfulness-based techniques help people notice patterns of thought and reduce reactivity. In remote sessions these methods can include guided breathing, brief grounding exercises and noticing exercises to use between meetings, which can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, preferences and goals and decide collaboratively which combination of person-centred listening, mindfulness practices or solution-focused steps will help most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit everyday routines and make progress between sessions.
