Aishah Elgindy , BACP

Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. She supports clients facing depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping problems, and challenges around self-esteem and life changes. Aishah works with clients on parenting questions, ADHD-related struggles, and LGBT issues. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Aishah draws on a person-centred approach while adapting methods to each person. She combines listening and practical coaching to help people set goals and take small steps forward. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies are used when helpful to build coping skills and clearer priorities.

Her background includes work in bereavement counselling within the NHS and time spent at a specialist women and children antenatal counselling centre. She also has over four years’ experience in mental health recovery services. Those roles have informed how she supports people after loss and during major life transitions.

Sessions are designed to be warm and non-judgemental. Aishah aims to create a space where someone can talk through painful experiences and test new ways of coping. She also provides mentoring and life coaching alongside counselling when that fits a person’s goals.

She practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Over a decade of work in clinical and community settings shapes her practical, calm style and focus on straightforward tools people can use between sessions.

How Aishah uses person-centred and solution-focused work online

Aishah often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly and find their own solutions. This approach can help with grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasises small practical steps and clear goals to tackle specific problems like anxiety, sleep difficulties or parenting challenges. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and staying present during difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss needs, preferences and goals at the start and adapt methods as work proceeds. That collaborative way helps identify what feels most useful for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations where visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Text and chat can be used for regular brief support or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
