About Alisha
Alisha Chainani offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or life changes. She writes simply and listens closely to help people find clearer ways to cope. Alisha’s approach aims to make therapy feel manageable, even when starting feels hard.
She has three years of experience helping people with low self-esteem, identity struggles and ADHD-related challenges. Her work also covers relationship patterns, communication problems, and issues linked to family of origin and cultural displacement.
Background and approach
Alisha pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and choices. Alisha works relationally and keeps sessions warm and collaborative. She sees the therapeutic relationship as part of the work and makes space for the parts of you that feel unsure or guarded.
Sessions focus on noticing patterns, building self-compassion and finding practical ways to respond differently. Her clinical background includes Transactional Analysis, a model that helps make sense of how people relate to themselves and others. Depending on need, conversations might explore early life experiences, repetitive behaviours, or difficult emotions that are hard to name.
Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can pick the format that fits their routine. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client. Alisha works from the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English.

Online support
Relational therapy places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work. The focus is on how current feelings and reactions show up in the relationship with the counsellor, which can reveal patterns that affect day-to-day relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try different ways of working, adjusting methods as needs and preferences become clearer. This shared planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for those juggling busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
