Alisha Chainani

About me

I am an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.) and currently in the final year of my MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. Over the past three years, I’ve worked with clients navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, identity struggles, relationship patterns, cultural displacement, and major life transitions. My background also includes experience supporting individuals who feel stuck in long-standing patterns or overwhelmed by competing expectations, both from within and from the world around them.

My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your unique experience. I work relationally, which means I view the therapeutic relationship itself as central to the healing process. I aim to build a space that feels safe and steady, where all parts of you are welcome; including the ones that may feel uncertain, lost, or guarded. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, I take time to understand how your past and present are connected, and how we can work together to make meaningful change.

My therapeutic training is rooted in Transactional Analysis, a model of psychotherapy that helps us make sense of how we relate to ourselves and others. Depending on your needs, our work might include exploring patterns of thought and behaviour, making sense of early life experiences, developing self-compassion, or working through difficult emotions that feel hard to name or hold alone.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own or minimising your needs. If you’re considering taking that step, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, connection, and a deeper sense of ease within yourself.

I look forward to working with you.
