About me
About Me
Hey, I’m Aashima, a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in Southgate, North London (N14). I also offer secure online counselling across the UK, making therapy accessible wherever you are.
Many clients often come to me feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, stress, overthinking, insomnia, low confidence or relationship difficulties. Others reach out because of burnout, career pressure, parenting challenges or unresolved trauma.
I provide a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard without judgment. My goal is not just to help you cope but to guide you towards lasting emotional balance, stronger relationships and greater self-confidence.
Alongside counselling, I bring in tools from EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), CBT-informed strategies, mindfulness and talking therapy. This combination has helped many of my clients calm their nervous system, improve sleep, and feel more at ease in both work and home life.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be glad to walk alongside you on your journey of growth and healing.
Counselling & Psychotherapy in North London & Online
My Approach
Healing begins with awareness and support. My style is integrative, blending CBT, EFT tapping, mindfulness and talking therapy.
I guide clients through a clear three-step process:
- Exploration – Together we uncover the root causes of anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and the patterns that keep you stuck.
- Tools & Techniques – I share practical coping strategies, including EFT, mindfulness, CBT-informed exercises and grounding methods, to calm your mind and body.
- Transformation – With new awareness and tools, you’ll build lasting confidence, resilience, and stronger connections in both your personal and professional life.
What to Expect in Your First Session
The first session is a gentle starting point. You’ll have space to share what’s on your mind and what you’d like support with. I’ll explain how I work and together we’ll set some initial goals. Many clients find they leave the first session already feeling lighter, simply from being truly listened to.
What I Offer
- Anxiety Therapy & Stress Counselling – personalised strategies to reduce worry and prevent burnout.
- Relationship Counselling – support for couples and individuals to improve communication and connection.
- Workplace Counselling – coping mechanisms for workplace stress, pressure, and performance anxiety.
- Holistic Counselling – combining evidence-based approaches with EFT tapping and mindfulness.
Why Clients Choose Me
Clients describe me as calm, understanding, and non-judgemental. My blend of traditional counselling and holistic therapies provides a safe, confidential space where you can release emotional pain, build resilience, and create lasting change.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
