Approaches Aashima lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Aashima draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness as core ways of working. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace, helping people voice what matters and find their own solutions. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce anxiety and support better sleep and emotional balance.She also uses trauma-focused ideas when past events are impacting day-to-day life. That work looks at understanding how upsetting experiences affect feelings and reactions, and then introduces gentle strategies to reduce their influence on current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Aashima treats it as collaborative. She will discuss your goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as you go so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and use techniques in daily life.
