About Puja
Puja Attul is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with 12 years of experience. She works with common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, sleep and eating issues, and questions about intimacy and identity.
Puja uses an integrative approach that brings together client-centred ideas and practical tools. In a typical session she listens to what matters most to the person and then helps them try small steps that can make daily life easier. She aims to combine talking about feelings with simple, evidence-informed strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Her work includes approaches drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas and existential therapy. That mix is used to help with practical problems like coping with big life changes, managing anger, or handling relationship conflict, as well as deeper issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns.
Puja also offers support for people facing long-term stresses such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, or the effects of trauma. She can work with concerns around parenting, blended family challenges, and career pressures while respecting each person’s pace.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients. Before a first appointment she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be planned around what they want to focus on.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than trying to control every thought. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often suits problems like insomnia, panic or persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect present beliefs and relationship patterns and can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and long-standing trust difficulties.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Puja will work with each person to agree what to try first and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. The emphasis is on practical steps chosen together, with regular check-ins about what helps and what needs changing.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote work helps them sustain regular appointments and bring progress into everyday routines.
