About Aisha
Counsellor and BACP member, Aisha Rahim has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career matters and coping with life changes.
Aisha uses psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and in personal choices. Sessions often involve talking about past experiences and noticing how they affect feelings and behaviour now. She aims to help people make clearer sense of what drives their reactions and where change might be possible.
Her approach is conversational and reflective. Sessions are a place to talk through thoughts and feelings and to consider different ways of responding to difficulties. She pays attention to themes that come up again and what these might mean in daily life.
Aisha works in English and practises in the UK. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed as her professional affiliation. Her practice has supported people coping with bereavement, trauma, and relationship strain among other concerns.
People usually begin by describing what they want to change and what feels difficult. Aisha then explores patterns and offers observations that can help people try small, practical shifts. If you want to discuss how she works in more detail, it is possible to ask about the first steps and session options when you make contact.
Psychodynamic work and remote counselling
Aisha practises using psychodynamic therapy. This approach focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. It helps people understand how past experiences influence current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for issues like relationship strain, grief and long-standing anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions based on the person’s needs, aims and preferences. You and the counsellor decide together how to proceed and what to focus on as therapy continues.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful when people need to be off camera or use less bandwidth for a session. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer remote sessions for convenience, and Aisha can explain practical arrangements when you arrange the first meeting.
