Aashima Aggarwal

Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor, psychotherapist, and life coach with 16 years of experience. She supports people feeling anxious, stressed, low, angry, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She aims to help clients feel calmer, clearer and better able to cope with life’s challenges.

She listens carefully to understand both what is said and what has been carried quietly for a long time. Sessions focus on making space to be honest and accepted, so people can begin to notice patterns and make different choices. Work often starts with small practical steps and self-reflection.

Aashima uses an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic tools that suit each person. This can include talking therapy, some cognitive behavioural techniques, meditation and grounding exercises, Emotional Freedom Technique tapping, and reflective therapeutic work. The emphasis is on what helps the individual in front of her.

She has specialist experience with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting difficulties, anger, depression and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with workplace issues, relationship struggles, ADHD, body image and feelings of emptiness.

Aashima works in English, Hindi and Punjabi and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. People who choose to start therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Aashima draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make sessions feel accepting and respectful. This approach focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for worries about anger, anxiety and self-esteem.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting day-to-day life. This work looks at how memories and feelings are stored and helps people develop new ways to respond to triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and how problems show up, and then suggest methods that suit the person. Decisions about technique are made together rather than imposed.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, family and travel. Online meetings can shorten commute time, make it simpler to join from another location, or allow a quicker check-in on a busy day.
