Pooja P, BACP

Pooja P helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those coping with trauma, addiction, self-esteem struggles and life changes. Pooja also works with concerns such as sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, career challenges and compassion fatigue. She is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English, Gujarati and Hindi.

Pooja trained as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She brings four years of direct counselling experience to her practice alongside a lengthy background in corporate and hospitality sectors. That earlier work means she is used to supporting people from a range of cultural backgrounds and life circumstances.

In sessions she aims to be warm and empathic while giving people room to share at their own pace. She adapts her style to fit each person, combining talking work with practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions often include work on relationships, attachment concerns and ways to manage strong emotions.

Pooja uses approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused ideas, along with mindfulness skills. She explains things in everyday language and helps people build coping tools they can use day to day. She also offers coaching-style support for goals like career decisions or improving communication.

People who want to begin can expect a straightforward matching process. The initial steps help identify priorities so sessions can focus on what matters most. Pooja aims to make therapy manageable and relevant for busy lives.

How attachment, CBT and EFT translate to online therapy

Attachment-based approaches look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Online work can focus on recognising attachment responses and practising new ways of relating and soothing strong feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. In online sessions this often means setting simple experiments, practising new coping skills and reviewing progress between meetings. Emotionally focused ideas help people notice and name emotions and use that awareness to improve close relationships and reduce conflict.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approach or mix of approaches best suits a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or distant clients. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be an easier way to check in on a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still practicing attachment, CBT or emotionally focused tools.
