Trauma Counselling

I am a compassionate Psychological Therapist with over 5 years of practice experience, and I am dedicated to helping people deal with these problems in a practical and meaningful way. My focus is on helping my clients heal from complex trauma, helping them to achieve emotional wellbeing and resilience in the future.

My experience with Ashia, has been one of empathy and support. She has given me the strength I have needed to move towards my goals.
I am for grateful for the space she continues to provide full of warmth and understanding.

I recommend Aisha's counselling service, she was warm and understanding. Having her as my counsellor at that point in time helped me to grow and process things even though I didn't see it in the moment. Reflecting back now she was an essential part of it. I really did feel seen and understood by her, she was also accommodating and I never once felt judged by her. So if you're looking for a counsellor, give it a go.
Leeza
Aisha is a great therapist. She is very empathetic and understands your emotions from your world view. I'm so glad I had my sessions with her, I was able to deep dive into my belief system and peel away at the layers.
Thanks so much Aisha x
