About Aisha

Aisha Tasneem is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports people facing common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma and relationship or family conflict. Aisha also works with issues around self-esteem, addiction and intimacy concerns.

She uses an integrative approach, drawing on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work and client-centred counselling. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings and on understanding how patterns of thinking and relating affect day-to-day life.

Aisha describes sessions as collaborative. She listens to what matters most to the client, and then suggests ways to approach those problems together. Conversations may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising new ways of relating, and clarifying personal values to guide choices.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns beyond core anxiety and mood issues. These include bereavement, caregiving stress, chronic illness and challenges linked to relationships and commitment. She also supports people navigating life changes and career pressures.

People who find social situations difficult, or who struggle with feeling watched, judged or excluded, will find practical techniques and relational insight in her sessions. Aisha aims to help clients gain clearer options for coping and to build daily habits that reduce overwhelm. She offers sessions from the UK and works in English.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they do

Aisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions that align with those values, which can help when anxiety or avoidance limits everyday life. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to reduce distress and improve moods.

She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches, looking at how past relationships shape current patterns and offering a respectful, collaborative way of working. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process; the therapist and client review what feels most useful and adapt techniques to fit the person's goals and preferences.

Check the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered for her practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if that suits a work break. The focus is on finding practical steps and support that fit into everyday life, with the therapist helping to shape sessions around your needs and pace.
