About Aashima
BACP counsellor and psychotherapist, 16 years' experience. Aashima Aggarwal helps people who are anxious, stressed, low, struggling with sleep, or facing life changes. She also supports those coping with parenting pressures, workplace strain, anger, trauma and relationship difficulties. She works in English, Hindi and Punjabi and accepts international clients.
Aashima draws on a mix of talking therapy, mindfulness, emotionally focused methods and trauma-focused work. She uses listening and reflective conversation to understand what someone is carrying. Sessions may include breathing or grounding exercises and short practical techniques to manage strong emotions.
She trained to a postgraduate level in counselling and has a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Her BACP credential is listed as BACP. Those qualifications inform how she structures sessions and plans next steps with each person.
Aashima says therapy often links several concerns together - for example stress and sleep problems or anxiety and low self-esteem. She works with people to notice patterns and try different responses to those patterns. The focus is on steady practical change rather than quick fixes.
Initial work typically clarifies immediate coping strategies and longer term goals. Sessions combine focused conversation with mindfulness and emotion-based techniques to help people manage mood, anger, or overwhelm. Over time she and the person review what helps and adjust the approach as needed.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Aashima works from a client-centred base, which means sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person. This approach helps set goals and priorities for practical work, and is useful for stress, low mood and self-esteem concerns.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to help people notice and name feelings and relationship patterns. EFT techniques can be helpful for managing strong emotions and improving communication with others.
Mindfulness methods are used in short, practical ways during sessions - breathing, grounding and simple attention exercises to calm the body and focus thinking. These tools can assist with anxiety, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Aashima will discuss options and together with the person decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commuting time and offer quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or work better without video, while others suit longer conversational work - check which options are offered when you schedule.
