Dr Aisha Tariq

I’m Aisha, Principal Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Director of Illuminated Thinking. With over 18 years of experience in adult mental health, I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that I bring to my work. Sometimes we need support to survive and work through psychological pain. Therapy can also build resilience for whatever may lie ahead. My welcoming and friendly practice is your safe space to explore and grow. My priority is to provide a safe space for you to explore what is going on in the here-and-now, learn and move on from the past, and re-focus on growing into the person you want to be.

Specialising in evidence-informed therapies including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), I am able to provide effective and tailored interventions across a range of difficulties.

Taking the first step in reaching out can often be the most difficult. To help with this, I offer a free 10 minute appointment so we can develop a plan for how to move forward. This can help you decide if we are a good fit.
