How Aishah works
She also has over four years' experience in mental health recovery services. This background means she is used to working with loss, perinatal difficulties and the ongoing effects of trauma. Her approach is client‑centred, which means conversations are guided by each person's needs and priorities.
She draws on mindfulness, solution‑focused ideas and trauma‑focused ways of working when these fit a client's goals. She also offers mentoring and life coaching alongside counselling to support practical day‑to‑day change. In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space for people to talk about painful or confusing experiences.
She has supported people with diagnoses such as Asperger syndrome, OCD, ADHD, depression and anxiety. She also helps those facing family conflict, abandonment and attachment problems. Aishah accepts international clients and works in English.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Aishah uses a client‑centred way of working which focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means the conversation is shaped by the client's priorities and pace, helping people feel heard and respected.She also draws on trauma‑focused methods to help people process difficult experiences and reduce distressing memories or reactions. Trauma‑focused work is practical and paced to match what the client can manage at each step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and help decide what fits best based on needs, goals and personal preference. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to suit different days and workloads. Video calls are useful for face‑to‑face conversation; phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, working around shifts or low-energy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside family, work and treatment commitments.
