About Alisha
Alisha Chainani is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also supports those navigating ADHD-related challenges and feelings of emptiness or repeated relational patterns. She brings a calm, warm presence and aims to make early sessions straightforward and easy to follow.
Alisha is an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. She has three years of practice supporting people through cultural adjustment, identity concerns, and ongoing patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Her training is grounded in Transactional Analysis, which she uses to understand how people relate to themselves and others.
In sessions she works relationally, treating the therapeutic relationship itself as part of the work. Conversations often look at past experiences and present reactions to find practical ways forward. She aims to help clients develop more self-compassion and clearer boundaries when that is helpful.
Therapy with her is collaborative. She does not offer quick fixes but focuses on small, steady changes you can practise outside sessions. Typical topics include family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and dealing with guilt or shame.
If you are thinking about starting, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what matters most right now. The initial process is about understanding your situation and agreeing clear next steps together.
Approaches that guide online work
Transactional Analysis helps people notice recurring ways they relate to themselves and others. It makes patterns visible so you can choose different responses, which is useful for relationship issues, codependency and communication problems.Her relational way of working means the therapist pays attention to the here-and-now of conversations. That focus helps when early life experiences affect current reactions and when building trust is part of the goal.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. The work is collaborative - you and the therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when relocating within the same country. Ask about the practical session options available and how they might fit around your routine.
