Snigdha Jindal , BACP

Snigdha Jindal is a counsellor and psychotherapist who blends person-centred care with practical, evidence-based techniques. She offers a warm, calm presence and speaks both English and Hindi. Her aim is to help people feel listened to and find ways forward at their own pace.

She draws on person-centred principles to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. Elements of cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic ideas are used to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour. Trauma-informed care informs how she works with people who have experienced abuse or distress.

Snigdha has four years of international experience in counselling, psychotherapy, and clinical psychology. Her background includes work with NHS professionals, immigrants, asylum seekers, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, stress, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Snigdha is based in Aberdeen, Scotland, and continues clinical supervision and professional development as part of her practice. Voluntary work with local services keeps her connected to trauma and equality work in the community.

Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and are shaped around what each person needs. Outside work she enjoys mindfulness, riverside walks, cooking, and staying connected to loved ones.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through what matters most to them while the counsellor reflects and asks gentle questions to clarify feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural techniques aim to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change patterns. In remote work these tools can include structured worksheets, mood tracking, and short between-session tasks to practise new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.

Trauma-informed ways of working shape how sessions are paced and planned, paying attention to safety and grounding. This can make it easier to approach painful memories gradually and to use techniques that help manage reactions in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust the pace as therapy progresses.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language, which helps therapeutic connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and flexibility across time zones. Many people find this mix makes it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
