Asha Egeh helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or difficulties in family and intimate relationships. She is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and introduces therapy in a calm, straightforward way. Sessions are offered in English and Somali.

Asha holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work focuses on understanding patterns that keep people stuck. She listens for past experiences that shape current reactions and helps clients name those patterns.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and open up new choices for responding to old difficulties. Asha uses psychodynamic therapy as a central approach. That means she pays attention to feelings, relationships, and early experiences to uncover underlying issues.

She combines this with a flexible, person-centred manner so sessions are tailored to each individual. Common areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of shame or isolation.

Asha offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients can access sessions as well. Her aim is to work at the client’s pace and help people build practical ways to feel steadier in daily life.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Asha uses psychodynamic therapy, which looks at feelings and repeating relationship patterns to understand why certain situations feel difficult. This approach helps when underlying emotions from past relationships affect current stress, anxiety, intimacy, or family problems.

Within sessions she takes a gentle, explorative stance that helps clients notice recurring themes in their feelings and interactions. Over time, recognising these patterns can open up different choices and ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Choosing the right approach is a conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist will work together with the client to decide whether psychodynamic work feels right, adapting the way they meet and the pace of sessions to match personal goals and preferences.

Online formats make this process flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or camera use is unwanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different circumstances.
