Aishah Elgindy , BACP

Aishah Elgindy is a BACP-registered counsellor with over 10 years of clinical experience supporting people through loss, trauma, and major life changes. She trained within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and gained specialist experience at a women and children’s antenatal counselling centre, which informs her work with pregnancy-related emotional challenges and bereavement after the loss of a child.

She has also spent more than four years working in mental health recovery and practices as a Person-Centred counsellor. In plain terms, this means she focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and helping them access their own strengths. She works in an integrated way and can combine counselling with mentoring and life coaching to address practical goals alongside emotional healing.

Aishah has experience supporting women who have received diagnoses such as Asperger’s, OCD, ADHD, depression, and anxiety, and she works with people affected by family conflict, abuse, trauma, and grief. Her background includes helping those with antenatal and postnatal depression. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build coping strategies at their own pace.

Approaches that guide online counselling and support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply to each person’s experience and creating a supportive environment in which they can explore feelings and make their own choices. It is helpful for people seeking empathy, self-understanding, and confidence to manage everyday challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing the effects of traumatic events and reducing their ongoing impact. It offers structured ways to address memories, emotional reactions, and patterns that can follow abuse, loss, or other distressing experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, helping people identify small, achievable changes that move them toward clearer functioning and improved wellbeing. It works well for clients who want focused, short-term progress on specific issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aishah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting the work over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide greater flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support while fitting therapy into busy lives and varied circumstances.
