Aishah Elgindy, BACP

Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family pressures, addiction and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also offers support for people facing fertility or cancer-related challenges, and for those living with ADHD or autism traits.

Aishah trained and practised within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and worked in a specialist women and children’s antenatal counselling centre. She has four years' experience in mental health recovery work and has supported people after the loss of a child and through postnatal and antenatal depression.

Her main approach is Person-Centred Counselling, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. She works in an integrated way, blending counselling with mentoring and life coaching where helpful. Practical, short-term techniques from solution-focused and mindfulness approaches can also be used alongside trauma-focused methods when needed.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Aishah helps people talk through feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes that fit their life. She encourages clear, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.

She is a BACP member based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the Start Therapy process.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Aishah uses person-centred work that places the client's experience at the centre of sessions. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what you share, and helping you find your own way forward, which suits one-to-one conversations online or in person.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress, anxiety and sleep problems. Mindfulness practices include short breathing and grounding exercises that can be taught and practised during a remote session. Solution-focused work is used to set clear, achievable goals and notice small changes; it suits people who want practical steps and quicker progress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then agree on methods to try. That collaborative start helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that better suits their day-to-day life.
