About Asha
Asha Sookhoo is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find steadier footing during hard times. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties, and supports those dealing with relationship and family conflict. Asha also helps with grief and loss, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and issues linked to intimacy, eating and sleeping.
She is a BACP therapist working in the United Kingdom. Her practice centres on tailoring conversations and plans to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside space to talk through feelings. Asha aims to be respectful and compassionate in every meeting. She encourages people to take small changes that fit their life and goals.
With seven years of experience, Asha draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques to address problems such as stress, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also supports people exploring LGBT-related concerns and those managing ADHD symptoms alongside other issues. Her approach balances short-term goals and deeper emotional work depending on what someone needs.
People can expect collaborative planning and regular check-ins on progress. Asha emphasises fit and flexibility, adapting pace and focus if circumstances change. She frames therapy as a practical partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
To begin, Asha invites people to reflect on what matters most to them and to set modest, achievable steps. The aim is improved day-to-day coping and clearer choices about the future.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online therapy
Evidence-based approaches focus on clear, practical steps that people can use between sessions. One common technique works on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments. This helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving straightforward actions to try.Another approach concentrates on behavioural activation and routine planning to lift mood and improve sleep. It breaks larger goals into small, manageable tasks and tracks progress week to week. This suits people struggling with depression, low energy or disrupted sleep patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is revisited over time so the plan can evolve if it is not working.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful for people living abroad since international clients are accepted, though scheduling will depend on time zones.
