Aashima aims to help people feel calmer, clearer and more able to cope with everyday pressures. Her way of working is integrative. She uses client-centred conversations to follow what matters to the individual.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps explore strong feelings in relationships and personal patterns. Mindfulness practices and grounding techniques are offered to manage stress and improve sleep. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events continue to cause distress, paced to the client's readiness.
Aashima trained at postgraduate level and holds a Master’s degree in Psychology plus a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People start by sharing what feels most urgent and then set small, practical goals.
Work can include short coaching tasks, reflective therapy, and simple meditative exercises tailored to everyday life.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, helping people clarify feelings and goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth and life transitions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong emotions and patterns in relationships or personal reactions. It helps people name difficult feelings and try new ways of responding, which can reduce emotional overwhelm and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Together the client and therapist review goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when reflection and visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for simpler check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, daily check-ins, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
