I currently have availability on a Saturday and may have flexibility at other times for in person and online work.

Hi, I'm Aleisha (she/her)

I believe that therapy can be transformative - this is something that I have experienced both as a client and as a therapist. I offer a non-judgemental and warm space for you to explore and reflect on your thoughts, feelings and experiences - perhaps leading to you having a better understanding of yourself and how you relate to the world around you. My work is non-directive, meaning that you decide what to talk about in sessions and set the pace at which we move together. When appropriate, I may gently encourage you to think in new ways about your experiences.

I am trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, striving to offer the person-centred therapeutic conditions of empathy, acceptance and unconditional positive regard whilst also exploring the connection between the past and the present. 

My qualifications include a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling from The University of Edinburgh as well as an undergraduate degree in Health & Social Welfare and Social Policy from The Open University. I am also a qualified Workplace Mediator, certified by The Institute of Leadership and Management.

Each person is unique and understanding and honouring your experience is core to my practice. My goal is to form a collaborative and positive therapeutic relationship which, in itself, can be enormously healing.

Therapy sessions are for 50 minutes and usually take place weekly at a set time. The cost is £60 per session. I also offer a limited number of sessions for those on lower incomes.

Prior to scheduling the first session, I offer a free 15-minute online video consultation to answer any questions you may have.
