Psychoanalytic Counselling in East London
I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in training at The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
Life is challenging - at times, our experiences can feel impossibly hard. You might be feeling anxious or depressed for reasons that seem very apparent to you, or totally obscure. Maybe you are struggling to process past or ongoing painful events or trauma. Perhaps you feel lost or confused, and would like to explore your inner life with a view to understanding yourself better. No matter what specific issues they may be contending with, most people seeking therapy are ultimately seeking to suffer less and enjoy more.

Relationships play a crucial role in our lives, especially romantic ones. But do you find yourself repeating the same behaviour patterns? Are you drawn to partners who aren’t right for you or even toxic? Perhaps you experience anxiety in relationships, always worrying, "Why haven’t they called?" Or maybe you feel suffocated by a partner’s neediness, leaving you yearning for space. Or do you find it difficult to set boundaries, letting your partners take advantage of you? You're not alone if you feel vulnerable in relationships and struggle to assert yourself. I can help.

If you are seeking counselling and psychotherapy, it may be because you are dealing with a specific issue or going through a particularly difficult phase for which you need support. You may have tried to resolve things by yourself but somehow, it didn’t quite work out. You may have found yourself in the all-too-familiar place of slipping back to your old patterns of thoughts, feeling and behaviors despite all the promises and repeated attempts at changing them. Or you may feel that we are doing OK, presenting to the world a well-functioning mask of personal efficiency or professional success, but deep feeling empty and alone.

Hello, I'm Ayesha — a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, offering in-person therapy in East London (Bethnal Green), and online therapy across the UK.
I work primarily with people from the Global Majority, navigating grief, childhood trauma, relational wounds, and the psychological weight of growing up between cultures. My practice is grounded in the understanding that our inner lives are shaped not just by personal history but by the cultural inheritances, community expectations, and systemic experiences we carry — often without language for them.

I integrate psychoanalytic depth with Sound Therapy to expand consciousness and move what lives in the body.
Most of the pain we experience stems from a profound sense of disconnection — between ourselves, each other, and the world. I empower you to reconnect with the part of you that is already whole, mapping your unique inner world and reminding you of who you really are. Rather than analysing and pathologising, I nurture contemplation and integration of the parts of you that feel tender and in need of attention — learning to translate their messages and understand your longings and desires. Together, we rediscover your freedom, sovereignty, Love, and essence.

You may be feeling stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns, overwhelmed by stress, or disconnected from yourself. You might be neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or feel that traditional talk therapy hasn’t quite reached what you’re experiencing. Often, people come to therapy with a sense that something deeper needs attention, even if it’s hard to put into words.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over twenty years and am informed by Humanistic and Integrative theory, philosophy and practice. My orientation is also underpinned by many years of reading, research and analytical work within the field of Analytical Psychology and the work of CG Jung. I can work with clients with many presenting issues including the challenges of every day life. My approach is based in human potential and encourages self-exploration through reflective dialogue, relational processes, creativity, the arts and dreams.

My core training is psychodynamic, but I also draw on humanistic principles to combine the rigour of psychoanalytic understanding with a warm, empathic approach.
Whether you're feeling anxiety, a lack of confidence, or are generally overwhelmed, it is important to choose the therapist who is right for you.
The relationships we have, or that we lack, can leave us confused, frustrated, or deeply hurt. Our environment, and how we are seen by others, can make us feel pressurised, dismissed, or misunderstood.
Together, we can work to understand your current and past experiences, so you can process the painful feelings that have left you distressed. Working sensitively and at your pace, in a trauma-informed way, allows us to explore how you feel without judgment.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
