About Aisha

Aisha Tasneem is a counsellor based in London who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family tensions, self-esteem struggles, trauma and codependency concerns. Aisha works in English and brings five years' experience to her practice. She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her credentials list.

Her style is integrative, which means she mixes methods to suit each person. Sessions focus on what matters to the client, with practical steps and space to talk things through. Aisha aims to respect a client's independence while offering guidance and feedback.

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among others. That mixture lets her address thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns in different ways depending on the issue.

In sessions she supports people who are coping with loss, struggling with addictive behaviours, or facing life changes like separation or caring for an ill relative. She also addresses concerns such as intimacy issues, commitment questions and communication problems.

Clients can expect a clear discussion of goals, gentle challenge when needed, and practical strategies for day-to-day coping. Aisha encourages people to set small, manageable steps and to reflect on what progress looks like for them.

How her approaches translate to online work

Aisha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in many cases, which focuses on helping people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when feelings are difficult. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and problems like codependency by teaching practical ways to live in line with what matters.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness and communication in their relationships and can be useful for intimacy and abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aisha will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow check-ins during work breaks. It can also allow a quieter conversation when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a shorter phone-based check-in. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people access consistent support while balancing other commitments.
