About Aakansha

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and completed a Masters in Guidance and Counselling, followed by a MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Aakansha aims to make sessions approachable and steady. She listens carefully and works with clients to identify strengths and difficulties.

Background and approach

She encourages practical steps that can change unhelpful thinking and behaviour in everyday life. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people build more helpful habits. She also uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's own goals and resources.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered where it fits the client's needs. She has experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. Other areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Aakansha has worked with people facing domestic violence, substance misuse and childhood trauma. Sessions may include short practical exercises, talking through experiences and building coping skills. She adapts her style to what each person needs, aiming for clear steps and steady progress.

Aakansha works in English and Hindi and is based in the United Kingdom. She offers online sessions for people living in different places and helps clients find an approach suited to their goals.

Online support

How Aakansha blends evidence-based approaches online

Aakansha draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and try small practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress by teaching clearer thinking and coping techniques.

She also uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the client's own aims and strengths, creating space for people to talk and be heard. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is available for clients who need a structured method for processing distressing memories or trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will talk through options, try methods that match a person's goals, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Clients help set priorities and feedback guides the work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the same therapeutic methods available remotely.
