Pooja P, BACP

Pooja P is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties, and who also offers support around ageing and geriatric issues. She works with people facing career strain, parenting pressures, addictive behaviours, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and challenges with sleep, eating or self-esteem. She speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi and practices from the United Kingdom.

Pooja draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused methods. Sessions are practical and conversational. She aims to give people space to tell their story while gently introducing ways to change unhelpful patterns.

Her background includes four years of clinical practice alongside a longer history in human resources and service industries. That earlier work brought experience with many cultural backgrounds and day-to-day pressures people face at work and at home. Pooja uses that perspective to shape realistic goals for therapy.

In sessions she takes a warm and empathic stance. She tailors the work to individual needs and circumstances rather than using one fixed method. That can include mindfulness exercises, attention to relationship patterns, or short-term behavioural tasks depending on what a person needs.

People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early relationship patterns shape current connections and self-view. In practice this may mean looking at how trust, closeness and dependency show up in daily life and relationships, then practising different responses.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses straightforward exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which suits concerns like anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is often part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. That might mean combining attachment work with CBT techniques or adding mindfulness practices for emotion regulation.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering alternatives when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt tasks and exercises so they work well in an online setting and fit into everyday routines.
