About Aishah

Aishah Elgindy helps people with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works in a person-centred way and combines counselling with mentoring and life coaching. Aishah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has more than 10 years' experience.

She trained within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and at a specialist women and children’s antenatal counselling centre. She has also worked in mental health recovery for over four years, supporting people through practical and emotional challenges.

Her practice includes work with women who have diagnoses such as Asperger’s, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with postnatal and antenatal depression and those who have experienced the loss of a child.

Aishah helps people talk through the effects of family conflict, abandonment and attachment issues, dissociation, domestic violence and separation. She also offers support around body image, eating and food-related issues, fertility and cancer-related concerns. Sessions address day-to-day coping, communication problems and self-esteem matters.

In sessions she uses client-centred methods alongside mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused work. This means conversations are led by the client, with practical strategies and attention to traumatic impact when needed. People can expect calm, straightforward conversation and help to identify small steps forward.

How her therapeutic approaches fit with online work

A client-centred approach focuses on the person and their concerns, giving them space to lead conversations while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This helps with relationship, self-esteem and many emotional issues.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Solution-focused work looks for practical next steps and small changes that make a noticeable difference. It is helpful for coping with life changes, communication problems and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan that blends approaches when that seems helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people choose quieter times, avoid camera use if preferred, or have shorter sessions for focused coaching work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help counselling fit into everyday life.
