About Aashima
Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor and psychotherapist with a BACP credential and 16 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, low, stressed, angry, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Her practice also addresses parenting difficulties, insomnia, relationship and communication problems, and questions about life purpose.
Aashima listens closely to what is said and to what has been carried quietly for a long time. She uses straightforward conversation alongside practical techniques to help people notice patterns and respond differently. Sessions may include talking work, grounding exercises, meditation and reflective tasks tailored to each person.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She describes an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic tools rather than a single method. This means she adapts the focus to match the problem someone brings in the room.
People often come with more than one concern. Aashima helps map how issues link together - for example anxiety with low self-worth, or stress with burnout - and then works on practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses techniques drawn from trauma-focused work when past events are affecting present life.
Her sessions aim to increase calm, clarity and confidence so people can cope better with life challenges. New clients are invited to begin from where they are and to set the pace for progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ashima draws on client-centred ways of working that focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach emphasises listening, reflection and helping people clarify their own goals, which can be useful for worries about life purpose, relationships and low self-worth.She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to help with anxiety, stress and sleep. These include simple breathing and grounding practices and brief meditations that can be practised between sessions to reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which tools to try. That choice is collaborative and can be reviewed over time as goals change.

Discussing practical arrangements early on helps fit therapy into everyday life.
