About Aisha
Counsellor and BACP member Aisha Tasneem has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She helps with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people with relationship and family conflict, low self-esteem, addictions and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Aisha uses an integrative approach. She draws on several counselling methods and adapts sessions to what the person needs. Sessions are collaborative and focus on what feels helpful in the moment. The emphasis is on practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Her work includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas where useful. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas also appear in sessions, especially when looking at relationship patterns. Existential conversations can help when people are facing big life changes or questions about meaning.
Aisha often helps people manage coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and long-term health issues. She can also address communication problems, codependency and issues linked to separation or blended families. Where relevant she explores grief, bereavement and the impact of trauma and abuse.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Aisha encourages clear goals and regular review of progress. People are invited to decide what they want to work on and to shape the pace of their sessions.
How Aisha uses therapy approaches online
Aisha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and decide what matters to them, then take small steps in that direction. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports practical changes to reduce distress.Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred ideas also inform her approach. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and helps people recognise repeating habits. Client-centred principles mean sessions aim to be respectful and give the client space to lead the conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process and reviews happen along the way.
