About Asha

Asha Egeh is a BACP counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, family strain, intimacy concerns and parenting challenges. She works with adults feeling stuck by depression, low self-worth, or difficult life changes. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs.

She speaks English and Somali and offers remote formats for those living in the UK and beyond. Her practice draws on psychodynamic therapy alongside person-centred and practical methods.

Background and approach

That means conversations look at patterns from the past that shape current feelings and relationships. Asha encourages clients to notice recurring themes and to try small, manageable changes between sessions. She describes her manner as warm and down-to-earth.

Trauma-informed care is part of how she listens and responds, and she avoids labels that can feel limiting. Therapy is built around respect, sensitivity and clear, practical goals chosen together. With three years of clinical experience, she helps people tackle things like communication breakdowns, attachment concerns, grief over separation, and the stress of caregiving or chronic illness.

Work may include talking through difficult memories, testing new ways of relating, and practising skills for calmer thinking. People usually start by explaining what matters most to them. From there Asha offers a tailored plan and gentle accountability.

The pace is collaborative so clients can make changes that feel realistic and lasting.

Online support

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and repeated patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify these recurring themes and to link them to day-to-day difficulties like anxiety, parenting strain, or problems with intimacy.

Her approach also draws on person-centred listening and practical techniques. That means sessions combine space to reflect on emotions with simple, actionable steps to try between meetings. This mix helps when the goal is clearer communication, healthier boundaries, or less reactive parenting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try ideas, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which direction to take.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling, or keeping momentum between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives.
