Aishah Elgindy , BACP

Aishah Elgindy is a BACP-registered counsellor with over 10 years of clinical experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship challenges and a wide range of mental health concerns. She trained within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and gained specialist experience at a women and children’s antenatal counselling centre, work that has informed her understanding of antenatal and postnatal depression as well as the complexities of loss after the death of a child.

Her background includes more than four years working in mental health recovery, and she practices primarily as a person-centred counsellor. That person-centred foundation is combined with an integrated style that includes mentoring and life coaching, allowing her to tailor support to each person’s goals and practical needs. She has direct experience working with women diagnosed with Asperger’s, OCD, ADHD, depression and anxiety, and she also supports people affected by family conflict, abuse, trauma and bereavement.

Aishah brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy, creating an open space where clients can explore difficult feelings and make meaningful changes. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows professional standards for practice while focusing on collaborative, person-led work that addresses emotional wellbeing, relationships and day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Aishah’s practice is rooted in client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person’s unique experience so they can explore feelings and find their own path forward. This approach is well suited to emotional concerns such as grief, depression, relationship difficulties and general life transitions.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people who have experienced abuse, significant loss or other traumatic events. That approach helps identify how past events affect present thinking and behaviour, and supports gradual healing and coping.

In addition, Aishah uses elements of solution-focused work to set practical goals and identify small, achievable steps toward change, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and day-to-day problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aishah collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the mix of approaches as progress is made.

Online therapy with Aishah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
