About Aashima

Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi.

Aashima listens closely and aims to make people feel heard. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Clients can expect a calm space to talk things through and try small steps that feel manageable.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centred work that prioritises the person's goals and pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help people notice and work with strong feelings in relationships and in themselves. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to cause distress.

Mindfulness practices and simple grounding are used to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep. The work can include coaching elements for life changes and money or workplace concerns. Aashima adapts tools to fit what each person needs.

Aashima has 16 years of experience and holds BACP, which reflects her membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She blends talking, practical exercises and reflection to help people build confidence and cope better with life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Therapy can focus on small shifts that add up to clearer thinking and less reactivity over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Ashima uses Trauma-Focused Therapy in sessions to help people understand how past events still affect them now, and to build safer ways of responding to triggers. This work often focuses on learning grounding methods and gradual processing of difficult memories.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions follow the person's pace and goals. The counsellor aims to reflect what is said, ask gentle questions and support the person's own decision-making about change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Aashima will talk through preferred methods and try different tools with the person to see what helps most. Together they set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching tasks, or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible around work, travel or family commitments and help people maintain continuity of care.
