About Aishah

Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor with ten years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and sleep difficulties. She supports those facing trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and addiction issues, and parents coping with the strain of raising children. Aishah works with clients on self-esteem, life changes and ADHD-related challenges, and she also offers coaching-style guidance when that fits a person's goals.

She trained within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and has worked in a specialist women and children’s antenatal counselling centre. She has several years' experience in mental health recovery and has supported people diagnosed with Asperger’s, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety.

Aishah practises in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace. She blends that approach with mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-informed work when appropriate. Conversations are straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people notice small changes that make everyday life easier.

Sessions combine listening, gentle reflection and hands-on strategies such as problem-solving and mindfulness exercises. For someone coping with disrupted sleep, she looks at patterns, daily routines and manageable steps to improve rest. For grief or abuse she offers steady, paced support and practical ways to manage distress.

Aishah holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. If someone wants to begin, they use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Aishah uses a person-centred approach which means sessions focus on the client's concerns and pace. This helps people who are stressed, grieving or managing mood difficulties by keeping conversations grounded in what matters now.

She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety, sleep problems and everyday tension. These are short, practical exercises that teach attention and breathing habits people can use between sessions.

Solution-focused work is another strand of her practice and looks at small, achievable steps. This approach suits goal-oriented tasks such as improving routines, sleep habits or coping strategies after difficult events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person. They adapt the plan as progress and needs emerge.

The original profile does not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins, remove travel time and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed.
