About Pooja
Counsellor Pooja P is a BACP member with four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and a wide range of emotional difficulties. Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati and Hindi and she accepts international clients.
Pooja draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural tools, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness. She aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and make small changes that reduce distress. Meetings are practical and conversational rather than academic or medical.
Her background includes long experience in corporate and service industries and a qualification in human resources. That past work informs how she understands workplace stress, communication problems and career concerns. She also brings knowledge of different cultural backgrounds to sessions.
Pooja uses person-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside other approaches. That means she pays attention to how past relationships influence current feelings and patterns. She also uses exercises from CBT and mindfulness to support coping and manageable behaviour change.
People who come to her often want help with parenting strain, relationship problems, addiction and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also works with trauma, grief, anger and issues linked to self-esteem and identity. In sessions she offers practical steps, reflective listening and simple skills to try between meetings.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how trust and closeness are experienced now and helps people spot repeating patterns in relationships and feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and allow strong emotions so they can be expressed and understood more clearly. It is often useful for working through relationship pain and intense personal feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree a way forward based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about language options and any practical details when you select your first appointment.
