Aishah Elgindy

Aishah Elgindy is a counsellor who supports people dealing with grief, trauma, stress and anxiety. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, parenting strain and self-esteem. Aishah also offers support around fertility, cancer-related worries and the effects of family conflict.

She has been practising for 10 years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes bereavement work within the NHS and counselling in a specialist women and children’s antenatal setting. She has also worked in mental health recovery for over four years.

Aishah describes her way of working as person-centred and integrative. That means she listens without judgement and shapes sessions around what each person needs. She sometimes combines counselling with mentoring and life coaching to help people move toward practical goals.

In sessions she focuses on building a safe, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful memories, loss or ongoing worries. She has experience supporting people with diagnoses such as Asperger’s, OCD, ADHD, depression and anxiety, and helps those affected by trauma, abuse and family breakdown.

People who want short-term, goal-focused work can try solution-focused tasks and mindfulness practices alongside talking therapy. Aishah works with international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments via the Start Therapy button.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Aishah works in a person-centred way which means the focus is on listening closely and responding to what the client brings. This approach helps people feel heard when they are grieving, anxious or dealing with trauma.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and manage overwhelming feelings. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, insomnia and anxiety by teaching simple attention and breathing skills to use between sessions.

Solution-focused techniques are used for practical goal-setting and short-term change. These techniques support people who want clear steps to cope with parenting demands, relationship problems or life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then shape sessions around that plan in a collaborative way.
