Asha Egeh, BACP

Asha Egeh is a counsellor who focuses on helping people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, intimacy and family tensions, and depression. She speaks English and Somali and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Asha uses a calm, down-to-earth manner to make it easier to speak about difficult things. She draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. Sessions often involve talking through recurring difficulties to spot hidden themes and make different choices. Conversations are paced to suit each person and aim to build clearer understanding and more helpful responses. Asha also brings a broad focus to related struggles such as attachment and abandonment worries, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and issues around caregiving or long-term illness. She can help people facing life transitions like divorce, midlife questions, or financial stress. The work can include reflecting on relationships, exploring emotions, and thinking practically about next steps. Her training is recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That accreditation is part of how she organises her practice and ethical approach. Asha has three years of experience working with a range of concerns in clinical settings. People who choose her often want a thoughtful, reflective process rather than quick fixes. She aims to offer steady support while helping each person find the pace and focus that suits them.

Psychodynamic insights and flexible online therapy

Asha mainly uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice how past relationships and early experiences shape current emotions and behaviour. This approach focuses on patterns that repeat over time and helps people understand why they react the way they do, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, attachment concerns, shame and repeated relationship problems.

Working together, the therapist and client decide which ways of working suit each person best. Asha aims to be collaborative, checking in about goals, pace and what feels helpful. If needed, she will adapt sessions so the work stays relevant to changing needs and circumstances.

Online therapy offers a range of practical options: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in suits, live chat for real-time typed conversation, and text-based messaging for brief updates or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limits, and let people choose what helps them engage most effectively.
