About Aishah
BACP accredited counsellor with 10 years' experience, trained in bereavement counselling and antenatal work. Aishah Elgindy practises in the United Kingdom and offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and addiction, among other concerns.
She uses a person-centred approach while working in an integrated way. This means Aishah listens to what matters to the client and combines counselling with mentoring and life coaching where useful. Sessions focus on practical coping, clearer communication and steps clients can try between meetings.
Aishah has experience supporting women who have received diagnoses such as Asperger's, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety. She has also worked with people affected by family conflict, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and those dealing with bereavement including antenatal and postnatal loss.
Her areas of focus include relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, body image and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also offers support around addiction, self-esteem, fertility concerns, cancer-related issues and attachment or abandonment matters. These topics often overlap, and she helps people untangle what is most pressing.
In sessions Aishah tends to use client-centred listening together with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage distress and try new ways of coping. Trauma-focused methods are used where past harm affects current functioning. She aims to be practical and clear about goals and next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and work out their own solutions. It can help with low mood, relationship concerns and confidence issues.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage intrusive thoughts, often useful for anxiety, sleep problems and coping with strong feelings.
Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It aims to identify what is already working and build forward from there, which can be helpful for life changes and coaching-style work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree what methods suit a client's needs, goals and preferences and may combine listening, mindfulness exercises and solution-focused tasks as required.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific delivery methods are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
