About Aishah
Aishah Elgindy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 10 years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns among her focus areas. She also works with issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, parenting strain and ADHD.
She trained as a bereavement counsellor within the NHS and supported people at a specialist women and children’s antenatal counselling centre. That NHS background included working with antenatal and postnatal depression and supporting parents after the loss of a child. She has also worked in mental health recovery for more than four years.
Her way of working is rooted in Person-Centred practice while integrating other approaches. She describes supporting people as a counsellor and also sometimes as a mentor and life coach. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping clients find practical next steps.
Aishah has experience supporting women who have received diagnoses such as Asperger’s, OCD, ADHD, depression and anxiety. She also works with people dealing with family conflict, trauma, abuse and grief, including separation and bereavement issues.
People who meet her can expect straight speaking and practical support alongside a listening approach. She aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and to identify small changes that fit their daily life.
Approaches used online and how they help
A Person-Centred approach focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person brings. It aims to create room to talk through painful feelings such as guilt or shame and to help the client decide what matters next.Mindfulness therapy uses simple awareness exercises and breathing or grounding ideas. These practices can help with overwhelming anxiety, intrusive thoughts, sleep problems and body image worries by bringing attention to the present moment.
Solution-Focused work looks for practical, short-term steps that fit into everyday life. It helps people identify small changes or experiments to reduce stress, improve communication or manage difficult emotions more effectively.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help figure out which methods best fit a person's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Please confirm the session formats Aishah currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a work break, avoid travel, or choose shorter check-ins when time is tight. Others favour exercises that do not require being on camera, or practices that suit quieter surroundings.
