Ayesha Mirza, NCPS

Ayesha Mirza uses a client-centred approach to therapy. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and works with people from diverse backgrounds in the United Kingdom. Ayesha explains things clearly and asks questions that help people make sense of their own experiences.

Ayesha spent part of her early career working in an NHS agency, where she supported people facing a range of emotional difficulties. Her background includes helping with motivation, confidence and recovery after difficult events. She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths to shape each session.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Ayesha listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

She also works with specific concerns such as adoption and foster care matters, immigration and multicultural issues, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, phobias, postpartum depression, and sexual assault and abuse. Other areas she addresses include coping after disasters, fertility challenges, and issues related to prejudice and discrimination.

Ayesha holds the NCPS credential. With four years of experience, she blends professional practice experience with a collaborative style. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk and to plan achievable changes.

Client-centred care and online support

A client-centred approach puts the person's own goals and experience at the heart of therapy. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps people identify their strengths and priorities. This way of working is often helpful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns where understanding personal feelings matters.

Drawing on her previous NHS experience, she helps people navigate trauma, motivation and recovery after difficult events by focusing on their own answers. Sessions explore what a person wants to change and then try out small steps. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods feel most useful for the individual's situation.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments from different locations. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to follow up after a difficult day. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
