Aisha Tasneem, BACP

Aisha Tasneem is a counsellor based in London with five years' experience helping people through midlife challenges and other major life changes. She offers straightforward, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Conversations are calm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.

Her style combines different counselling methods so sessions are shaped to each person's needs. Aisha listens without judgement and treats people as partners in the work. She focuses on what matters most to the client and sets small, manageable steps between meetings.

Aisha draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build new ways of coping. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and feel heard in the room.

People contact her about a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, career uncertainty, addictions, chronic illness, ageing worries, and problems with communication or commitment. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, trauma, low self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Sessions focus on practical tools as well as exploring personal meaning and values. Aisha aims to help people identify realistic goals and develop skills they can use day to day. She asks clients to shape the pace and direction of therapy so it fits their life and priorities.

How Aisha uses different approaches in online work

Aisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and small committed actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical strategies to change unhelpful reactions and routines. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches focus on how past relationship patterns influence current difficulties and on creating a respectful, listening space during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferred ways of working and everyday constraints, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clear.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since session types are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed. It can also help people access consistent support while managing caring responsibilities, work commitments or mobility limits. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
