About Asha

Asha Sookhoo helps people work on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and related issues. She works through talking, practical problem-solving and focused plans in the ways she finds most useful with each person. Asha is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has seven years of professional experience in the UK.

She offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on what is happening now and what can help next. Asha listens to the facts of a situation, helps sort priorities and will suggest straightforward strategies to try between sessions. She also supports people with parenting strain, addiction concerns, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and workplace pressures.

Her background includes work with people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to the person in front of her rather than following a single formula. That means sessions can include practical skills, short-term coping tools and longer-term planning depending on need.

Sessions are practical and structured when helpful, and more exploratory when that is needed. Asha accepts people from within the UK and international clients. She speaks English and works from her professional registration with the BACP.

To start she asks about what has been happening and what the person hopes to change. From there she and the client agree on goals and the type of work that will best support those goals, with regular check-ins on progress and adjustments as needed.

How Asha uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling

Asha works with a small set of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach involves teaching simple, repeatable skills to manage symptoms day to day, such as breathing or grounding and short behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance. This helps with stress, anxiety, sleep and coping with life changes.

She also uses problem-focused and planning methods to tackle relationship and career issues. These sessions aim to clarify difficulties, set small goals and try realistic steps between meetings to test what helps. That approach suits people who want structured, task-oriented work alongside reflective conversations.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy. Asha collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try, checks what is helpful, and adjusts plans if needed. She discusses goals and preferences up front and reviews progress as work continues.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a day, reduce travel time and allow check-ins around work or family commitments. They can also allow shorter practical sessions when time is limited or sessions without video if that suits the person better.
