About Ayesha
Ayesha Mirza is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients.
Ayesha takes a straightforward, client-centred approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on drawing out strengths. Sessions are practical and conversational, with time spent identifying what feels most pressing and what small steps might help.
Her background includes work in an NHS agency, where she gained hands-on experience with a wide range of difficulties. That work exposed her to common early-adult pressures such as stress around study, work and relationships, and to more complex trauma and cultural issues.
In sessions she helps people talk through relationship strain, manage anxious thoughts, and build confidence after hard experiences. She also supports people dealing with pregnancy-related mood changes, immigration and multicultural concerns, and obsessive or phobic difficulties.
Ayesha is used to working with people who worry they are behind or unsure about next steps. She helps break problems into small, manageable parts and tests simple strategies to reduce overwhelm. People who want a conversational, person-focused approach may find her style helpful.
How client-centred work adapts to online sessions
A core approach Ayesha uses is Client-Centred Therapy. This means the therapist listens closely, mirrors what matters to you, and helps you decide the next steps. It suits people who want a conversational space to make sense of their feelings and to build confidence in their own choices.Client-Centred work pairs well with practical, step-by-step support for anxiety, low mood and relationship stress. The method focuses on your perspective rather than the therapist directing the process, which can help when sorting out pressures from study, work or relationships during early adulthood.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Ayesha will discuss what feels most helpful for you and adapt the approach based on your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
