About Aishah
Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She works with those facing depression, addiction and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps with parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem and life changes.
Aishah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes her approach as person-centred, so sessions focus on what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
She uses that style alongside solution-focused conversations and mindfulness techniques. When trauma or abuse is involved she draws on trauma-focused ways of working to help people manage difficult memories. Aishah has worked within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and in an antenatal centre for women and children.
She has also spent several years supporting people through mental health recovery. That mix of settings gives her experience with loss, antenatal and postnatal concerns, and wider mental health issues. In practice she blends counselling with mentoring and life coaching when helpful.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded - clients talk through immediate problems and set manageable goals. Mindfulness exercises and short solution-focused steps are used when they suit the person. She has experience supporting people diagnosed with Asperger’s, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety.
Aishah also addresses family conflict, attachment and abandonment issues, fertility and bereavement related to child loss. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Work is tailored to the individual and the pace is agreed with each person.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
A person-centred approach places the client's concerns at the centre of each session. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s pace, helping them find their own solutions and make sense of feelings. This approach suits people who want a space to be heard and understood.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices to help with overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Short exercises during or between sessions can support sleep, anxiety and stress management and offer practical ways to calm the body and mind.
Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. It concentrates on strengths and what is already working, which can be useful when managing life changes, parenting challenges, or setting recovery-focused targets.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try different methods and adjust the plan to fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. It is common to combine elements from different approaches until a comfortable fit is found.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, parenting or other commitments, while keeping continuity over time.
