About Aashima

Aashima Aggarwal is a counsellor and life coach with 16 years of practical experience. She works with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, low or stuck and helps them find clear next steps. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, Hindi and Punjabi.

Aashima listens closely to what is said and to what may have been carried quietly for a long time. She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly and be accepted.

Background and approach

Her style is warm, respectful and straightforward so conversations stay useful and grounded. Her work draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She uses client-centred listening, emotion-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to suit each person.

This means sessions may include reflective talking, breathing or grounding exercises, and practical tools to manage mood and stress. People come to her for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems, parenting strain, workplace issues and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, ADHD and complex emotional themes like guilt, shame or emptiness.

Aashima holds a Master’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and brings sixteen years of experience to each session. She aims to help people feel calmer and clearer, and to build small, workable changes.

Sessions start where someone is, and they proceed at a pace that feels manageable.

Online support

Aashima commonly draws on client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centred therapy means the work is built around the person’s own priorities and pace, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters most. Emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in relationships and feelings, helping people notice and change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness therapy uses simple practices such as breathing and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has helped before and what feels manageable, then suggest ways to proceed. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress unfolds.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter exchanges, journalling between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
