About Aishah
Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor with a decade of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD and self-esteem. Aishah works with issues linked to family conflict, eating and sleeping problems, and life changes such as separation or bereavement.
She trained and practised in NHS settings as a bereavement counsellor and worked in a specialist antenatal service for women and children.
Background and approach
She has spent several years in mental health recovery roles and brings that background into her sessions. Aishah describes her approach as person-centred, which means she focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis. She blends this with practical coaching and mentoring to help clients set and reach personal goals.
Sessions are steady and down-to-earth, aimed at making gradual change manageable. Therapeutic methods she uses include mindfulness to help with stress and focus, solution-focused techniques for short-term goals, and trauma-informed work when past harm affects present life. She has experience supporting women who have been diagnosed with Asperger’s, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety.
People who come to Aishah can expect a non-judgemental space to talk through difficult experiences. She aims to build trust and practical coping skills so clients can feel more in control between sessions. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English.

How Aishah’s approaches work online
Aishah draws on client-centred counselling to make sessions focus on the person and their priorities. That approach involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their pace and goals. It can help when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and choices.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce stress and improve attention. Mindfulness exercises can be practised during calls or between sessions to support coping with anxiety and insomnia. Solution-focused work is used for short-term goals and practical changes, such as improving routines around sleep or parenting tasks.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Aishah collaborates with clients to decide what feels most useful, and she adapts methods as goals change. That collaborative process helps people try things out and refine what helps most.
Online therapy with her is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for more depth, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments.
