Alisha Chainani, NCPS

Alisha Chainani offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps individuals who struggle with self‑esteem, relationship patterns, or the disruption that comes with moving between cultures. Her approach is gentle and collaborative, aimed at helping each person find clearer footing in day-to-day life.

Alisha draws on a psychotherapy model that looks at how we relate to ourselves and others. Sessions often involve noticing repeated patterns, making sense of early experiences, and learning ways to be kinder to yourself. Conversations are practical and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

She has three years of experience supporting people through issues such as abandonment worries, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. Alisha also works with those facing blended family challenges, immigration stress, and difficulties around infidelity or jealousy.

Therapy can include talking through emotions that feel overwhelming, examining habits that keep problems repeating, and practising new ways of coping. Sessions may focus on reducing anxious thoughts, strengthening self‑worth, or finding clearer ways to communicate needs.

Alisha holds an NCPS credential from the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and she sees people based in the United Kingdom. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to feeling more able to handle life’s pressures.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Transactional Analysis is a psychotherapy model that looks at how people relate to themselves and others. It helps identify repeated interaction patterns and where they began, which can be useful for relationship problems, communication issues, and feelings of emptiness.

Work in sessions also often focuses on noticing thought and behaviour patterns and developing greater self‑compassion. This practical emphasis helps when managing anxiety, low self‑esteem, or the fallout of major life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to test what helps most, adjusting methods based on needs, goals and how the person responds. This means the plan can change as understanding deepens.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text‑based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller face‑to‑face feel, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or when movement is easier, while live chat and messaging allow shorter check‑ins or support between longer sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or busy schedules.
