About Aashima
Aashima Aggarwal is a BACP counsellor with 16 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, low mood, anger and sleep problems. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, coping with life changes, parenting strain, ADHD, trauma and workplace difficulties. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly and feel listened to.
Her style is gentle and practical. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She listens for connections between feelings, behaviour and life events and helps people try new ways of responding. Therapy can include guided conversation, mindfulness practices and short exercises to use between sessions. Aashima draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore emotional experience and relational patterns.
She also uses client-centred principles to follow what matters most to the individual, and trauma-focused methods when past hurts are getting in the way of daily life. These approaches are blended to match each person’s needs rather than applied in a set sequence.
Her background includes postgraduate training in counselling and education and study in psychology, and she brings experience from many years of practice. She works in English, Hindi and Punjabi, and provides sessions to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients. People usually meet by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
A subscription model is used for sessions, and appointments are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire is completed.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Ashima uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name strong emotions that affect their relationships and wellbeing. This approach focuses on feeling, not just thinking, and can help when emotions feel overwhelming or confusing.She also works with client-centred therapy principles, which means the session follows what matters most to the person in front of her. This creates space for people to set the pace and topics, while the counsellor listens and reflects what she hears.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through options and adapt methods to suit the person's goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can fit around busy days and allow brief check-ins or written reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to access support from different locations and at varied times, while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
