PJ Sangalang, BACP

PJ Sangalang helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. He also supports those coping with family issues, workplace pressures, feelings of isolation, guilt, and questions about life purpose. PJ greets each person with straightforward listening and steady attention to their story.

He uses a human-centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of sessions. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client - their thoughts, feelings and the meanings they attach to experiences. PJ combines this with ideas from existential and systemic work to look at both personal values and the wider patterns around relationships and family of origin.

Motivational interviewing informs his way of helping people find their own momentum for change. He asks questions that help identify practical next steps and clearer goals rather than imposing a fixed plan. This can suit people who want to move forward from stuckness or low motivation.

PJ trained and practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. He brings three years of professional experience and has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. He speaks English and Tagalog, which can help when language or cultural perspective matters.

Sessions are offered online in several formats to fit different schedules and needs. PJ aims to create a respectful, boundaried space where people are heard and can explore decisions, identity, and relationships at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience front and centre. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to help them make sense of their feelings and choices, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, values and the bigger questions people face. It helps when someone is re-evaluating life purpose, coping with a midlife shift, or feeling disconnected from their sense of identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. PJ will talk with the client about their needs and goals and jointly decide which methods to use. This collaborative stance means the approach can change as the client's priorities evolve.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and different time zones, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists who use evidence-informed approaches.
