About Aishah

Aishah Elgindy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 10 years' practice. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around parenting and blended family dynamics.

She trained as a bereavement counsellor within the NHS and worked in a specialist women and children’s antenatal counselling centre. She also has more than four years' experience in mental health recovery work. This background informs practical help for people dealing with antenatal or postnatal depression and loss.

Her approach is person-centred, which means she listens and follows the client’s priorities. She combines that with mentoring and life coaching when useful. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Aishah has worked with people diagnosed with Asperger’s, OCD, ADHD, depression and anxiety. She also supports those affected by family conflict, attachment and abandonment issues, trauma, abuse and bereavement. That range means she is used to helping people who face overlapping problems.

Her practice addresses everyday concerns such as sleeping and eating problems, body image, communication difficulties, and coping with major life changes. For those in stephouseholds, she can talk through co-parenting strains, loyalty tensions and blending routines. She aims to help people sort priorities and try small changes that fit daily life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

A client-centred approach places the client’s concerns first and focuses on listening, reflection and practical next steps. This can help with relationship tensions, parenting strains and emotional responses to separation or loss.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve focus. It is often used alongside other methods to help with sleep, stress and intrusive thoughts.

Solution-focused therapy looks for small, concrete changes that make daily life easier. It suits people who want brief, goal-oriented work to manage conflicts, routine changes and blended household logistics.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That choice can be revisited as work proceeds.

Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you are organising care around children or work, mention that when you book so session length and timing can be discussed.
