About Aisha
Aisha Tasneem is a counsellor based in London who offers practical, down-to-earth help to people facing stress, grief and relationship strain. She works with common concerns like anxiety, depression, bereavement, addiction and difficulties with self-esteem. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can talk honestly about what is hard for them.
Aisha draws on several counselling approaches and adjusts how she works to fit each person. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, manageable steps that can be used between meetings. She pays attention to how relationships and attachments shape feelings and behaviour, and she supports people dealing with life changes and caregiving stress.
Her background includes five years of practical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That experience informs a flexible, person-focused way of working rather than a single fixed method.
People may come with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue or problems around intimacy and communication. Aisha helps them talk through painful memories, recognise unhelpful patterns and experiment with different ways of coping. She respects each person’s independence and works in partnership to set realistic goals.
Sessions are structured around the client’s priorities and may use elements from cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-based work and existential questions. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day challenges.

How different approaches shape online counselling
Aisha commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when helping people cope with loss or relationship strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with grief, anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people change unhelpful patterns in closeness and trust.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and typical difficulties, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can mix ideas from different approaches so people can see what helps in their daily life.
Please check what online session options are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time and arrange shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools from ACT or attachment work at home between sessions to practise new responses and skills.
