Pooja P , BACP

Pooja P is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, grief and self-esteem concerns. She supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts. She also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and parenting pressures.

Pooja describes a warm and empathic style. She gives clients space to speak and listens without rushing. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs and circumstances rather than following a fixed script.

Her background includes work across corporate and hospitality sectors for many years, where she supported people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She also holds professional training in human resources and is a qualified counsellor. Her listed credential is BACP, which is shown as provided.

Pooja uses a flexible, creative approach in sessions. She adapts methods to what suits the person in front of her and will try different ways of working to find what helps. Practical tools are used alongside talking and reflection.

She offers therapy in English, Gujarati and Hindi, and meets people by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients may be seen. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet the counsellor.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-based methods focus on how early bonds shape current relationships. They help people understand patterns in closeness, trust and fear of abandonment and use that understanding to change how they connect with others.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood by changing unhelpful thinking and routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions in the moment. It can be useful for relationship stresses, intimacy concerns and for calming overwhelming feelings after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the client to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needs change. This is a shared process and can be reviewed over time.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video sessions are good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
