Puja Attul, NCPS

Puja Attul offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She helps people who are dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction or parenting strain to find clearer ways forward. Puja is named up front because she believes a warm human connection matters in therapy. She has 12 years of experience as a counsellor and is registered with NCPS. Puja mixes a person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural ideas so sessions are both understanding and active. Conversations are straightforward and down to earth. Practical tools are used alongside space to talk about feelings. In sessions Puja listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that hold them back. Where helpful she introduces strategies for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful thoughts. Work might include small experiments, new coping routines or clearer ways to talk to others. Puja also pays attention to attachment and life meaning. That can help when past losses, abandonment or identity questions are part of the struggle. She adapts the pace to each person and focuses on steps that suit everyday life. People choose her when they want thoughtful, compassionate counselling with practical steps. Her aim is for clients to feel more resilient, make clearer choices, and carry tools from sessions into daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it focuses on small committed steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness with others. This approach can help when issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties or intimacy-related concerns affect everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on practical CBT-style tools for a while, then spending time on personal meaning or attachment themes as needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls suit those with limited bandwidth, live chat can fit short check-ins and messaging works well for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel.
