Puja Attul , NCPS

Puja Attul is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and a wide range of life challenges. She works with issues such as grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Puja also supports people navigating adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and other complex stresses.

She practices in the United Kingdom and uses a blend of humanistic and cognitive approaches. Her NHS Common Professional Standards (NCPS) credential appears as NCPS. Puja focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly and feel heard. Sessions combine listening with practical steps to manage day-to-day problems.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build trust and self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice inner experiences and choose actions that match their values.

Puja tailors her work to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. She aims to help people build resilience, handle life changes, and find clearer direction. Her approach mixes emotional exploration with straightforward coping tools.

People can work with her from elsewhere as she accepts international clients. Sessions are available in English and offered through a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that match what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Client‑Centred Therapy emphasises a non‑judgemental, respectful space where clients are listened to and understood. This approach supports self‑awareness and helps people explore difficult emotions at their own pace, whether discussing trauma, grief or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques over time. This collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is helpful for more in‑depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, timely exchanges and can fit into busy days. These options help people access therapy from different locations and schedules while keeping the focus on practical support and steady progress.
