About Aashima
Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, low, stressed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She also works with those struggling with sleep difficulties and parenting strains. Aashima aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can be honest and feel heard.
She listens closely to both what is said and what may have been carried quietly for a long time. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She draws on a mix of approaches and practical tools rather than one fixed method.
In sessions she might use talking therapy, brief cognitive-behavioural techniques when relevant, guided meditation, grounding exercises, Emotional Freedom Technique tapping, and reflective therapeutic work. These tools are chosen to suit the person and the issue, whether that is sleep problems, anxiety, work stress, low self-esteem, or relationship tension.
Ashima describes therapy as a step-by-step process. She focuses on helping people notice patterns, build self-awareness, and develop clearer ways to manage emotions. The pace and goals are set together so the person feels comfortable moving forward.
She works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English, Hindi and Punjabi. Her profile notes that international clients are accepted. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ashima commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when helping people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and forming a trusting relationship so a person can speak freely and work through difficult feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress, calm the mind, and support sleep routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows practical exercises, guided meditations and reflective conversations to continue between meetings, helping people practise skills in day-to-day life.
