About me
Hi, I’m Aisha! Before I tell you a bit about me, I would just like to acknowledge the important step you have taken to find a therapist. I’m aware it can be an anxious and daunting experience, that’s why it’s important to find the right therapist for you. You may be going through a difficult time in your relationship, work life or struggling to explore your emotions; it’s important to explore what is going on for you.
In order for us to grow, it’s important for us to express our emotions. And to feel validated for our emotions. Whether that’s to cry, laugh, scream or just sit in silence. As therapists it’s our role to hold your emotions, no matter what they are and to encourage your growth and watch you blossom. As a Therapist, it is my responsibility to offer a safe space where you will receive empathy, congruence and no judgement. This will be a space to explore your feelings, experiences and whatever is going on for you.
EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) is an evidence based therapy designed to use our natural healing ability to overcome significant life events that continue to have a negative influence on our lives. Together, we identify those experiences and work through them, releasing unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and body sensations attached to those memories. The therapy is tailored to you and to the level you feel able to manage.
In therapy, the aim is to aid our clients to self-actualise by given them a safe place to explore and accept their true selves. There will be times where we have uncomfortable conversations, but as long as you feel safe, we can go to those uncomfortable places together.
It’s important to find the right therapist for you and this process can be very daunting. That’s why I offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss what it is you’re wanting from therapy and if we are a right fit. If you would like any additional information then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
