She listens with attention and care to understand both what someone says and what they may have been carrying silently. Her work is based on a client-centred approach that puts the person’s own experience at the heart of therapy. Sessions often include reflective conversation alongside practical tools such as mindfulness and emotionally focused techniques.
Aashima draws on a range of methods to suit each person’s needs. This can include grounding and meditation practices, elements of trauma-focused work, and interventions aimed at improving emotional connection and regulation. She frames these tools in simple steps so they are easier to use between sessions.
Her training includes a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
People come to her when life feels confusing or overloaded, and she aims to help them feel calmer and clearer. Work focuses on building trust, improving emotional awareness, and finding practical ways to cope day to day.
Client-centred and emotionally-focused therapy online
Aashima uses client-centred work to place the person’s experience at the centre of the session. That means the conversation follows what matters to the client, and the counsellor reflects back to help make sense of feelings and choices. This approach often helps with low self-esteem, life choices and ongoing worries.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to work with patterns in relationships and strong emotions. EFT-style work helps people notice how they respond to hurt and conflict and try different ways of connecting or expressing needs. Mindfulness methods are used alongside these approaches to support calming, present-moment awareness and better sleep or stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and comfort level, checking in and adjusting as therapy progresses. That way, practical exercises and reflective work are balanced according to what helps most.
