Hi, I’m Aishah. I’m a psychotherapist working with Transactional Analysis (TA). I offer a warm, respectful, and culturally sensitive space to explore anxiety, identity, trauma, family patterns, and generational trauma. As a British Pakistani woman, I understand the complexity of living between cultures and the impact of silence, shame, and pressure to conform. You might feel like you are always holding it together for others while feeling lost or overwhelmed inside. I work relationally and at your pace, helping you reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels more grounded, free, and aligned with who you are.

You may be visiting this site because you or your child have been newly diagnosed with a health condition. Or you might have been living with a difficulty for a long time. When dealing with health challenges it can be common to experience anxiety, depression, or stress. As a practitioner health psychologist, I use an integrative approach to support people of all ages. Throughout my extensive training and clinical experience, I have developed competence in many different therapeutic techniques, meaning that I will tailor your sessions to you, rather than trying to make you and your experiences fit into a particular approach.

I don’t only listen and nod through the session — I notice what keeps you stuck, challenge unhelpful patterns, and bring insight that actually helps you respond differently. Together, we create clarity, confidence, and relationships that feel secure and balanced. You might be overthinking everything, or feel “too much” or “not enough.” You may struggle to set boundaries, feel drained, and have relationship difficulties with partners, colleagues, or family. You may feel anxious in conflict, unsure how to express your needs, or frustrated by patterns you can’t change alone. You’re in safe hands with me.

To be known and understood by another person is a rare experience. Just as rare is finding someone prepared to listen to us without judgement, without making premature assumptions about us, or applying solutions before having heard us fully. Sometimes it takes someone else to draw out our courage, courage that is essential for us to honestly disclose who we are and the truth of our difficulties; courage to tackle our difficulties constructively and with resolve. Therapy is a partnership. It is about us agreeing to ‘put our heads together’ to obstinately attempt to find a new way forward and a way to psychological wellbeing.

My clients are not looking for someone who just listens to them , gives reassurance, or surface-level strategies. They come to me for clarity without judgement, depth and intensive short term results and a space where insight leads to real, sustainable change. I am very active in the session and offer results
