About Ayesha
Ayesha Mirza works from a client-centred approach that places the person's experience at the heart of therapy. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Ayesha speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.
Her NCPS credential is listed as NCPS. She aims to create a calm setting where people can tell their story and notice what helps them move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around listening, reflective feedback and practical steps people can try between meetings. Ayesha believes people already have strengths and resources that can be developed to manage current challenges. With four years of experience, she has worked in NHS settings and community services, supporting people through common and complex problems.
Her background includes supporting those affected by trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and by grief or sudden change after disasters. She also helps with concerns such as obsessive thoughts, phobias, fertility and postpartum depression. Ayesha is aware of how immigration, culture and prejudice can affect day-to-day wellbeing.
She offers a respectful, non-judgemental space for people from diverse backgrounds to be heard and understood. Practical coping tools and steady emotional support are part of her typical sessions. People who choose to work with her usually start by describing a current worry and setting a few short-term goals.
Over time they reflect on patterns and try new ways of responding. The pace is collaborative and guided by each person’s needs and preferences.

How Client-Centred Care Works Online
A client-centred approach focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people identify their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and for processing difficult experiences such as trauma or abuse.Sessions are conversational rather than prescriptive. The counsellor offers empathy, questions that clarify what matters most, and simple techniques to try between sessions. Together the client and counsellor check what helps and adjust the approach as needed to match goals and preferences.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick reflections, brief progress notes or when typing feels easier than speaking.
Finding the right method is part of the process and the counsellor will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Online work offers flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and communication styles, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady emotional support.
