About me
Hello, I’m Aisha, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and founder of Willow & Way Counselling. I offer adults a warm, confidential space to feel heard, explore difficult feelings, and make sense of their experiences.
You may be navigating grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties or life changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed. My approach is person-centred, drawing on different therapeutic ideas to support your individual needs, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
My experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, bereavement counselling, supporting women who have experienced sexual violence, and mental health crisis support. I also welcome exploration of culture, faith, and identity where these matter to you.
At Willow & Way, I aim to meet you with warmth, curiosity, and respect. You are welcome to get in touch to discuss what you are looking for and whether working together feels right for you.

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.
