About Aishah
Counsellor Aishah Elgindy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people with parenting concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem problems, and those working through life changes including fertility and bereavement.
Aishah trained as a bereavement counsellor within the NHS and has experience at a specialist women and children antenatal counselling centre. She has worked in mental health recovery for over four years and draws on that background when supporting people with both common and complex concerns. Her caseload has included women diagnosed with autism spectrum conditions, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety.
She uses a client-centred approach as her main way of working. That means sessions focus on what the person brings and on listening without judgement. She also integrates mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused methods when these fit a person’s needs.
In practice she offers mentoring and life coaching alongside counselling when clients want practical steps as well as emotional support. Sessions are conversational and aim to make problems clearer and manageable. Work can include discussing past losses, family conflict, parenting pressures, or the aftermath of abuse.
People can expect straightforward, paced sessions that keep to the concerns they raise. For international clients she works in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details via the service booking process.
Approaches used in online counselling
A client-centred approach puts the person and their experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens and reflects, helping people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for grief, low mood and relationship worries.Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and manage anxious thoughts. It is often used alongside talking work to help with stress, sleep problems and persistent worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to agree methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as work progresses so methods can change if needed.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that suits someone better.
