Aishah Elgindy

Aishah Elgindy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 10 years' experience. She lists life purpose among her interests and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy difficulties. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, addictions and questions around identity and LGBT issues.

Aishah trained as a bereavement counsellor within the NHS and has worked in a specialist antenatal counselling centre for women and children. She has four years' experience in mental health recovery work and has supported people with diagnoses such as autism spectrum conditions, OCD and ADHD. Her background includes supporting those affected by domestic violence, divorce, fertility and cancer related concerns.

She works from a person-centred stance and combines that with coaching and mentoring. Sessions tend to focus on what matters now - practical steps, coping strategies and clearer next steps rather than long theoretical discussion. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used alongside trauma-informed approaches when needed.

Aishah aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. She listens to what a person wants to change and helps them notice small shifts that can make daily life easier. Conversations can cover grieving losses, sorting out family conflict, or looking at how to manage worry and low mood.

People come to her when they feel stuck or unsure what comes next in work or life. She asks about current priorities and helps set short-term goals to test new ways of coping. The emphasis is on practical progress and clearer thinking rather than promises of a single answer.

How Aishah uses therapeutic approaches online

Aishah works from a person-centred base. This approach focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities, then building conversations around what matters now. It helps when someone needs to talk through life direction, family issues or emotional distress.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress, anxiety and sleeping difficulties. These techniques encourage noticing thoughts and bodily sensations in simple ways, which can reduce reactivity and help with day-to-day management.

Solution-Focused work concentrates on small, practical changes and short-term goals. It is useful for people who want concrete next steps, whether that is coping with loss, managing panic, or testing new ways of handling family conflict.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and recommend a mix of methods that fit the situation. Clients are invited to feed back so plans can be adjusted as they go.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins between life events. Some approaches translate well to video or phone conversations while others may focus on short practical tasks to try between sessions.
