About Aashima
Counsellor and psychotherapist, BACP, with 16 years' experience. Aashima Aggarwal works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, parenting strains, sleep problems and life changes. She also helps with self‑esteem, relationship issues, trauma and ADHD concerns.
Aashima uses a straightforward, person‑centred way of working. Sessions focus on what a person brings and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that link feelings, actions and relationships, and looks for small changes that make daily life easier.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She brings 16 years of practice to each session and draws on a range of methods as needed.
Therapeutic tools Aashima commonly uses include client‑centred listening, emotionally‑focused work and mindfulness techniques. She may also include trauma‑focused approaches where relevant to a person's concerns.
Sessions are conversations aimed at making sense of feelings and finding manageable ways forward. People often work on ideas for coping with pressure, improving sleep, managing anger and building self‑confidence. The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Aashima works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English, Hindi and Punjabi. She accepts international clients; anyone thinking about working with her should confirm session options before booking.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client‑centred therapy places the person's own concerns at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, helps clarify what matters most and supports the client to make decisions. This approach is useful for general stress, low self‑esteem and life transitions.Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on relationships and emotions. It helps people notice how feelings drive behaviour and communication, and supports building different ways of responding. EFT can be helpful for those who want to understand patterns in close relationships and emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree what to try based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about technique are collaborative and may change over time as clearer priorities emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Online counselling can help fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist who speaks English, Hindi or Punjabi even when someone lives abroad.
