Aashima Aggarwal, BACP

Aashima Aggarwal helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, anger and the strain of life changes. She supports those facing relationship tensions, parenting pressures, workplace issues, compassion fatigue and trauma or abuse. Aashima also offers coaching-style support for people feeling empty, unsure about life purpose, or needing help with money worries and self-esteem.

She works in a calm, listening-focused way. Sessions give space to talk and to be heard without judgement. Aashima pays attention to what someone says and what they may have been carrying quietly for a long time. She aims to help people feel calmer and clearer about next steps.

Her practice draws on client-centred ideas and emotionally-focused work, alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused methods. These approaches are used flexibly to match a person’s needs rather than following a rigid formula. Practical techniques such as grounding and breathing are offered alongside reflective conversation.

Aashima has 16 years of experience and is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi, and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Getting started is straightforward. Clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy follows at a pace that suits the individual, with an emphasis on building trust and workable steps forward.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the therapist offering empathy and active listening so people can explore what matters to them. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns in relationships and within oneself. It is useful for people dealing with strong emotions, attachment wounds or repeated cycles that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor a blend of methods to suit individual needs. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or geographical constraints. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters, phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier to join on the move, and live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on real therapeutic progress.
