Asha Sookhoo

Asha Sookhoo is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She meets people where they are and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for them to talk through difficult feelings and situations. Asha focuses on practical support so people can move toward more manageable days.

She helps with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, parenting strain, and issues with anger and self-esteem. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and career or life-change challenges.

Asha says she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what someone wants to work on, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques selected for the situation. She aims to be direct but compassionate, helping people find small, practical steps to try between meetings.

Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. This is the credential shown in her profile and is used to describe her professional standing.

To begin, Asha asks people to describe what they hope to change, and then they agree on priorities together. She offers steady support through difficult decisions and practical coping strategies, recognising that starting therapy takes courage and may feel overwhelming at first.

How Asha uses evidence-based techniques in online work

Asha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and moments. She focuses on approaches that teach clear tools and coping strategies, and that make progress measurable over time.

One approach she commonly uses involves practical problem-solving and behavioural changes to reduce stress and build better routines. This helps when anxiety, sleep or eating patterns are causing trouble. Another approach emphasises talking therapies that gently examine past events and current patterns to reduce the impact of trauma and improve relationships. These conversations aim to make sense of difficult experiences and find manageable ways forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and choose methods based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when needed. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques for remote sessions so therapy feels focused and practical.
