Aishah ElgindyBACP

Aishah Elgindy is a BACP counsellor with over 10 years of practical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges linked to pregnancy and childbirth. She also helps with relationship and intimacy problems, parenting concerns, body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, and neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and ADHD.

She trained within the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and worked in a specialist antenatal counselling centre for women and children. She has several years of experience in mental health recovery settings and has supported people through postnatal and antenatal depression and the loss of a child.

Aishah uses a person-centred approach as the core of her work, which means she listens and follows what matters most to the individual. She also draws on mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused practices when these suit the client’s needs.

Sessions include practical conversations, gentle grounding exercises and collaborative problem solving. She often combines counselling with mentoring and life coaching techniques to help clients make changes between sessions.

People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, respect and space to reflect. She aims to help clients find tools to cope with everyday pressures and to make clearer decisions about relationships, parenting and personal wellbeing.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Aishah uses a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. This method helps people feel heard and shape sessions around their goals, whether they are coping with pregnancy-related concerns, parenting stress or grief.

She also draws on mindfulness practices, which use simple breathing and grounding exercises to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, sleep difficulties and emotional overwhelm during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Aishah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which mix of person-centred, mindfulness or solution-focused methods fits best. That choice is made together and can change as needs evolve.

For practicalities, please confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, allowing a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists may offer these flexible options to help people maintain continuity of care while managing everyday demands.
