Counselling rooted in compassion

I'm Isha Sheikh, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in [location]. I believe that every person carries the capacity for growth and healing — sometimes we just need a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what we're carrying.

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, bereavement, trauma, and relationship challenges. My practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, tailored to what works best for you.

What I offer

Services

Each person's experience is unique. I offer flexible ways to work together, tailored to your needs and circumstances.

Individual therapy

One-to-one sessions in a private, confidential setting. We'll work at your pace to explore what's troubling you and find a path forward.

Online counselling

Secure video sessions from the comfort of your own home. Ideal if you're short on time, prefer privacy, or can't travel to a clinic.

Short-term support

Focused, time-limited work for specific concerns — helpful if you're looking to address a particular issue in 6–12 sessions.

Long-term therapy

Open-ended, in-depth work for those wanting to explore deeper patterns, past experiences, or longstanding emotional difficulties.

Anxiety & depression

Specialist support for anxiety, low mood, and stress — helping you understand your patterns and develop healthier ways to cope.

Bereavement & loss

Compassionate support through grief — whether you've lost a person, a relationship, a job, or any aspect of life that mattered.

My approach

I draw on an integrative, person-centred foundation — adapting my approach to each individual rather than applying a single technique to everyone.

01

Person-centred

You are the expert on your own life. I offer empathy, warmth, and unconditional positive regard as the foundation of our work.

02

Integrative

I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches including CBT, psychodynamic thinking, and mindfulness — selecting what fits you best.

03

Culturally aware

I work with sensitivity to cultural identity, background, and lived experience, creating a space where all of you is welcome.

04

Collaborative

Therapy works best when it's a true partnership. We'll regularly check in on how the work feels and adjust as we go.

Start the conversation

Taking the first step can feel daunting — but it doesn't have to be. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation so you can ask questions and get a feel for whether we might be a good fit.

All enquiries are treated with complete confidentiality. I aim to respond within 24–48 hours.
