Aishah Elgindy, BACP

Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor with more than 10 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and midlife transitions. She also helps those dealing with trauma, family conflict, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles. Aishah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She trained within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and worked in an antenatal counselling centre focused on women and children. That background informs her approach to loss, perinatal mood issues and family-related stresses. Aishah has also worked in mental health recovery for over four years which shaped her practical, recovery-oriented perspective. Aishah practises mainly from a person-centred stance, listening first and following each person’s pace. She blends this with solution-focused techniques and mindfulness exercises to help people find manageable steps forward. Trauma-focused methods are used when addressing abuse, dissociation or other trauma responses. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She often mixes counselling with mentoring and life coaching to help clients set goals and build daily routines. Conversations cover what matters now and what small changes might make life feel steadier. People who come to Aishah can expect a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult experiences. She works collaboratively to identify priorities and to develop coping strategies that suit each person’s life and responsibilities.

Approaches used online and how they help

Aishah works from a person-centred foundation, which means sessions focus on listening and understanding each person’s experience. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they make decisions about change. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. Mindfulness can help with sleep, stress and managing intrusive thoughts by building simple attention skills. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, practical steps toward a client’s goals. These techniques are useful for people who want to make measurable changes or build new routines between appointments. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting as those needs change. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions more flexible for people juggling work, family and other responsibilities.
