About Aashima

Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, anger and sleep problems. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, parenting pressures, workplace issues and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi and she accepts international clients.

Aashima listens carefully and focuses on understanding what people are carrying beneath the surface. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly and begin to make small, steady changes.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and down-to-earth, with practical tools offered alongside reflective conversation. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. She is a BACP enrollee, which is noted here as part of her professional profile.

Over the years she has combined different methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed approach. Therapy often mixes talking work with simple exercises such as mindfulness, grounding and reflective tasks to build calm and resilience. She may also use targeted techniques to address trauma-related symptoms and to help people understand their emotional patterns and relationships.

Aashima helps people set realistic goals and practise new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Work in sessions is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs, whether someone wants short-term coaching or deeper therapeutic change.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Aashima draws on client-centred work which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the sessions around the issues they bring, such as anxiety or low self-esteem.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at emotional patterns and attachment needs in relationships and personal responses. EFT can help when feelings like anger, jealousy or emptiness are linked to how someone connects with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s goals and preferences. That may mean starting with simpler coping skills and moving to deeper trauma-focused work if needed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversational flow, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, reflective writing between sessions or flexible check-ins outside scheduled calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and travel routines while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
