About Ayesha
Counsellor Ayesha Mirza is a member of NCPS with four years' clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.
Ayesha uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person's experience and what matters to them. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and draws on their strengths when talking through problems.
Her background includes work in an NHS agency, where she gained everyday clinical skills supporting people with common mental health difficulties. She has also developed experience with more specific concerns such as adoption and foster care, immigration issues, postnatal difficulties and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
In a session Ayesha listens and reflects what she hears. Conversations concentrate on what the client wants to change and on small steps that feel possible. Practical ideas may be offered alongside open listening, depending on what the client is looking for.
People who contact her usually start by describing the immediate problem. Later work can look at patterns in relationships, coping after distressing events, or managing low mood and anxiety. The emphasis stays on the client's goals and pace.
Client-centred approaches and online counselling
A client-centred approach places the person's experience at the centre of therapy. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and works from the client's own goals. This style is often used for low mood, anxiety, relationship concerns and recovery after distressing events.The idea is to help the client clarify what they want to change and to support small, achievable steps. In practical terms that may mean focusing on day-to-day coping, reviewing relationship patterns, or talking through difficult memories at a pace the client sets. The therapist and client decide together which way of working suits best.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and allow check-ins during lunch breaks or between appointments. The exact session formats for this counsellor are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt the way they work to match a client's goals and preferences.
