About Aishah

Aishah Elgindy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among the issues she supports. She also notes experience with eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges.

She trained as a bereavement counsellor within the NHS and worked in a specialist women and children’s antenatal counselling centre. She has also spent more than four years in mental health recovery roles. That background means she has practical experience supporting people after loss and during major life changes.

Her stated approach is person-centred counselling, delivered in an integrated way. That means conversations focus on the client’s perspectives while practical coaching and mentoring can be added when useful. Sessions often include mindfulness and solution-focused elements to help manage symptoms and build coping skills.

She has worked with women diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety. She also lists experience supporting people after trauma, abuse, family conflict and during antenatal or postnatal depression.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and non-judgemental, with emphasis on listening and practical next steps. Clients can expect a mix of reflective talking, problem-solving and mindfulness practices when appropriate. International clients may be accepted; confirm current options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

A client-centred approach places the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions. Online conversations focus on what matters to the client, with the therapist listening and reflecting back to clarify goals and concerns.

Mindfulness practices involve simple breathing and grounding exercises. These can help reduce immediate anxiety and improve focus during or between sessions. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and building on what already works for the client.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which approaches fit the client’s needs and preferences, adjusting over time based on progress and feedback.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, save travel time, or choose a quieter moment for a shorter check-in. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to combine reflective discussion with practical exercises and homework that fit into everyday routines.
