About Aisha

Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), five years' experience. Aisha Rahim helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and intimacy concerns.

Aisha works in a psychodynamic way. She listens for patterns in feelings and relationships and helps clients make sense of how past experiences affect current behaviour. Sessions are conversational and aim to bring issues into view so they can be thought about differently.

People come to discuss relationship strain, loss, worries about identity, low mood and work or career pressures. Aisha offers a calm, direct approach that focuses on understanding what keeps problems going. She breaks concerns into manageable topics so practical steps can follow understanding.

Her practice works with emotional themes such as attachment, recurring conflict and how trauma affects trust and intimacy. Aisha helps clients notice repeating patterns and try out new responses in day-to-day life. She also supports people who want help navigating significant life changes.

Sessions use straightforward language and steady pacing. A first meeting typically looks at what brought someone to therapy and what they hope to change. Follow-up sessions set clearer goals and review how different ways of thinking and acting are working out in real situations.

Sheet 2

Psychodynamic work and remote sessions

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people see repeating patterns in relationships, understand where intense emotions come from, and try different ways of responding.

When used for grief, loss or anxiety, this approach focuses on the meaning of feelings and recurring reactions. For trauma and intimacy issues the work pays attention to how trust and closeness were formed and how they affect present relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and decide together which ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between meetings, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can also use remote appointments to maintain continuity when life circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult.
