About Aisha
Aisha Tasneem is a counsellor based in London who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people manage relationship strain, family conflict, issues around self-esteem, and the emotional effects of trauma and addiction. Aisha holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her professional credential, and she has five years of clinical experience.
Her style is practical and tailored. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a single method.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches, listening first to understand priorities and everyday pressures before suggesting ways to move forward. In conversation she aims to be warm and non-judgemental. She encourages people to set clear, manageable goals and to try simple techniques between sessions.
This might include spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small changes in behaviour, or practising acceptance-based ideas for difficult feelings. Aisha works collaboratively with clients to build stronger communication and clearer boundaries when relationships are strained. She also supports people coping with life changes, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and bereavement.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and issues that arise from blended families. Throughout therapy she uses methods from cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based work alongside attachment-focused and existential conversations. The aim is to help people find practical steps that fit day-to-day life while also making space to understand deeper patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Aisha uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy among other approaches. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and practising changes in behaviour to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful feelings without getting stuck and to commit to actions that match their values.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and challenges, and then suggest methods to try. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and it can reduce travel time so regular appointments are simpler to keep. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief update is useful, or audio-only options when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform tailor the practical arrangements to suit daily life and responsibilities while helping clients apply therapeutic tools between sessions.
