About Ayesha
Ayesha Mirza works on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression using a client-centred way of working. She is registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience.
She starts by listening to what each person brings and checks what matters most to them. Sessions focus on the person's own priorities and strengths. Ayesha uses client-centred counselling to help people name problems, try out different responses, and notice what makes a difference day to day.
Her experience includes helping with relationship difficulties and trauma-related concerns. She has worked with people facing low mood, worries, and confidence problems. Additional areas she supports include adoption and foster care matters, fertility and immigration issues, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
Ayesha also addresses a range of specific difficulties such as obsessive or compulsive behaviours, phobias, self-harm, sex addiction, and sexual assault and abuse. She can work with people affected by disasters and those dealing with dependent or antisocial personality patterns as part of broader life problems.
Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu. International clients are accepted. Practical arrangements such as cost and session scheduling depend on location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people are asked to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a first session. This helps match priorities and set initial goals for the work together.
How client-centred counselling works online
A client-centred approach focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person clarify what matters most to them. This approach is often used for worries, low mood, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns.
Client-Centred Therapy supports people to use their own strengths to make changes. It does not rely on forcing techniques or a fixed programme; instead the pace and topics are set by the person in the session. This can be helpful when working through trauma, anxiety or confidence issues because it keeps the focus on the individual's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide how to proceed. This is a collaborative decision and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and saving travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they have limited bandwidth or need a brief update, while others choose video for a fuller conversational experience; confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity of care when location or travel are an issue, and they allow people to schedule appointments that fit into everyday life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
