About Aisha

Aisha Tasneem is a counsellor based in London who helps people who are struggling with anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn in daily life. Aisha has five years' experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as a professional reference point in her practice.

She offers tailored support for grief, trauma and self-esteem issues and helps people who are facing career changes, parenting strain or care responsibilities. Aisha also works with addiction concerns, intimacy-related worries, eating issues and LGBT matters. She approaches emotional pain and life changes in plain language and focuses on what people want to change.

Aisha uses a flexible, integrative approach. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas, and existential ways of thinking. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people try different ways of coping and relating.

Her sessions focus on what a person wants to do differently - reducing anger, managing stress, or improving communication. She encourages practical steps alongside space to talk about feelings. The work is collaborative and paced to suit the individual.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and there is a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Aisha’s approaches translate to online work

Aisha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are hard, which can help with anger and avoidance. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and build new, healthier reactions to triggers. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns from early relationships and how those affect present connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which ideas to try and how to measure progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also make some tasks simpler, such as practising coping techniques at home or arranging sessions around work and caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can help adapt these approaches to a remote setting and find what works best for each person.
