About Ayesha
Ayesha Mirza uses a client-centred approach to help people find their own solutions. She believes clients are the experts on their lives and draws out their strengths to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and self-esteem. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping a worried parent feel understood and supported.
She has four years of professional experience and has worked in an NHS agency. That background means she is used to working with a range of concerns, from depression and low confidence to recovery after abuse.
Background and approach
She explains things plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps. In sessions she listens first and follows the person’s pace. The therapist encourages clients to name what matters most and tries simple ways to change daily habits and ways of thinking.
Sessions revolve around the client’s priorities rather than a fixed checklist. She also works with people facing adoption and foster care issues, immigration and multicultural concerns, fertility or postpartum problems, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Other areas she supports include obsessive-compulsive problems, phobias, self-harm and sexual trauma.
Ayesha offers help in English, Punjabi and Urdu. She accepts international clients. Practical details such as cost and how to start are handled through the site’s sign-up process and matching questionnaire.

How Ayesha works online
In simple terms, the client-centred approach gives space for the person to tell their story and for the therapist to reflect and support. It suits people who want to be heard and who prefer to lead the direction of work rather than be given rigid tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best, looking at the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That shared planning can include trying different ways of working until a good fit is found.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. Specific session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions support steady progress while making attendance simpler.
