How Aisha’s approaches translate to online care

Aisha commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people make sense of distressing past events and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach aims to gently process memories and reactions while building practical skills for day-to-day coping.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on values-based action so clients can make meaningful choices even when emotions feel strong.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand of her work. It looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how these affect current connections, helping people change unhelpful interaction habits and build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about what feels useful, try approaches that match their goals, and adapt methods as progress is made. Together they decide what to emphasise in sessions based on needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
