Background and approach

In sessions she encourages people to notice their strengths and to try practical steps between meetings. Ayesha trained to the NCPS level and has four years of professional experience, including work in the NHS. That background shaped her understanding of common mental health concerns and how to help people find steady routines and coping ideas.

She also supports people facing more specific issues such as obsessive thoughts and compulsions, fertility and adoption-related strain, immigration or multicultural stresses, and the after-effects of sexual assault and abuse. Her work includes helping people who are managing self-harm urges and postpartum depression. Sessions can be held in English, Punjabi or Urdu.

Ayesha welcomes people who live in the United Kingdom and those connecting from abroad. The first steps are simple and aimed at making the process manageable for a worried parent or busy adult.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor offers empathic reflection and support while encouraging clients to identify what feels important and to try small practical changes. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and phobias because it starts from the person’s priorities rather than a fixed plan.

Because every person is different, finding the right way to work together is part of the therapy. Ayesha will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques to try and which session format fits their life. That collaborative process helps set realistic goals and clear next steps based on the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better where bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for parents and busy adults to fit therapy into their day.
