Aashima Aggarwal

Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 16 years of experience. She supports people who are anxious, stressed, low in mood, overwhelmed, angry, or unsure how to move forward. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, workplace stress and concerns about narcissism.

Aashima listens carefully and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space. She uses straightforward conversation, reflective listening, and practical tools so people can make sense of what they are feeling. Clients are invited to be honest and to set the pace of their work together.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She is listed with the BACP, which is shown here as BACP.

Her way of working is flexible and draws on several methods. This can include client-centred work, emotion-focused exercises, mindfulness practices, trauma-focused techniques and simple behavioural tools when they help. Sessions often mix short exercises with talking and reflection.

Aashima pays attention to how different issues connect, such as how stress links with sleep, or how low self-worth affects relationships. She supports people who want clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and greater confidence. International clients can be seen and sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and raises small, practical steps for everyday life. The goal is steady progress that fits each person’s needs and rhythms.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Ashima commonly draws on client-centred work and emotion-focused therapy when meeting people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace to help them feel understood and more able to talk about difficult feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy works with core emotions and patterns in relationships, helping people recognise and gently shift the ways they respond to others.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety, sleep and emotional overwhelm. These are simple breathing, grounding and awareness exercises that can be practised in short moments during the day and between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods collaboratively. Clients are encouraged to feed back about what helps so the plan can be adjusted over time.

The profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow work around family or job commitments. It can also let people try short check-ins or longer analytical conversations depending on what suits their needs.
