About Ayesha
Ayesha Mirza is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She supports people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She works in straightforward, respectful language and emphasises the person’s strengths.
Before working privately, she gained experience in an NHS agency, which shaped her practical approach to everyday problems. That background helped her learn how to listen closely and respond to immediate concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that feel doable. Her practice recognises the impact of identity and life events on wellbeing. She offers space to talk about immigration matters, multicultural concerns, and the strain of fertility or adoption journeys.
She also addresses issues such as obsessive thoughts, phobias, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Ayesha works with people affected by self-harm, sexual assault and sex addiction, and can talk through trauma-related symptoms and recovery options. She aims to create a calm pace and clear goals so people do not feel overwhelmed.
Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu, and she accepts international clients. She holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of practice experience to her work.

Approaches Ayesha lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Deciding what approach fits best is a joint process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try ways of talking that feel comfortable, and adjust the approach over time. The aim is to find methods that suit the person’s needs, pace and preferences rather than forcing a single format.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging work well for people who prefer typing or need brief, frequent contact. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and travel commitments.
