About Aisha

Aisha Tasneem is a counsellor based in London who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship tension, family conflict, self-esteem and trauma. Her profile is clear about working with a wide range of common concerns, including ageing and geriatric issues as one area of focus.

Aisha uses an integrative approach. She draws on several counselling methods and adapts them to each person's needs. Sessions are delivered with respect for the client's autonomy, and she works alongside people to set and pursue practical goals.

In practice she uses a mix of talking therapies to tackle immediate problems and longer-standing patterns. That can mean learning new ways to respond to anxious thoughts, practising actions that match your values, or looking at how attachment and past relationships shape current behaviour.

She has five years' experience and holds BACP, which is stated as her credential. Aisha works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

If you are coping with caregiving strain, chronic illness, bereavement, or life changes linked to ageing, she can help you talk through practical next steps. To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Aisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and taking actions that match your values, which helps when anxiety or avoidance feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how you connect now, which can help with intimacy or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to choose and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means approaches can shift as needs change over time.

If you prefer to have sessions online, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations within the UK while keeping continuity of care and focusing on practical steps between sessions.
