About Amreeta

Counsellor and BACP member Amreeta Chapman-Aujayeb has 15 years of professional experience in the UK working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self esteem and depression. She speaks English, French and Hindi and draws on long experience with clients from different cultural backgrounds. Amreeta uses a range of approaches to suit the concern presented.

Amreeta trained originally with a Masters in Clinical Psychology and later moved into therapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy. She is also undertaking doctorate-level training with the aim of teaching counselling and psychotherapy. Her background includes living and working in Mauritius, India and England which informs her cultural understanding.

She helps people with both complex and more time-limited issues. That includes complex trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, codependency and PTSD, as well as short-term work for confidence, sleep, anger and anxiety. The focus is on understanding what the symptoms are signalling and finding practical ways forward.

Her practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based work. Sessions aim to build a working relationship that clarifies goals and methods to address blocks and repeated patterns.

Amreeta has worked professionally for many years and combines direct client work with academic study. She encourages straightforward conversations about what a person needs from counselling and how progress will be reviewed over time.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance limit daily life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. This work can be useful for relationship difficulties, trust issues and patterns of dependency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. Some formats can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce the need for travel, or avoid being on camera when that helps with concentration.
