About Alisha Chainani

Alisha Chainani is a registered practitioner with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and brings three years of experience supporting people through emotional and relational challenges. She has worked with individuals facing anxiety, low self-esteem, identity concerns, relationship patterns, cultural displacement, and major life transitions, as well as those feeling stuck in long-standing patterns or overwhelmed by competing expectations.

Her approach is warm and collaborative, grounded in respect for each person s unique experience. Alisha works relationally, viewing the therapeutic relationship itself as central to change. She aims to create a steady, welcoming space where all parts of a person can be acknowledged, including those that feel guarded or uncertain. Rather than offering quick fixes, she explores how past and present connect to help clients make meaningful shifts.

Alisha s training is rooted in Transactional Analysis, a model that helps clarify how people relate to themselves and others. She integrates that work with techniques for identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, developing greater self-compassion, and processing difficult emotions that can be hard to name or hold alone. Alisha is also completing the final year of an MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, which informs her clinical practice and understanding of relational dynamics.

Transactional Analysis and Relational Support Online

Alisha uses Transactional Analysis to help clients understand how they relate to themselves and others; this approach explores recurring interaction patterns and early life influences to bring clearer awareness to difficult relationship dynamics and self-critical habits. She pairs that with a relational way of working that focuses on how the therapeutic connection itself can offer a corrective and steadying experience, useful for issues like attachment difficulties, codependency, and relationship conflict.

Sessions may also include practices aimed at building self-compassion and working through intense or hard-to-name emotions, helping clients develop more adaptive coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Choosing the most helpful techniques is a collaborative process - Alisha works with each person to tailor the approach according to their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and find a communication style that feels comfortable, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who focus on effective, evidence-informed techniques.
