About Trisha
Counsellor Trisha Poole is a BACP registered member (MBACP Accred) with 24 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, loss and depression, and offers coaching and mindfulness-based support. Trisha also lists areas such as grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and ADHD among her focus areas.
She uses a mix of approaches in sessions. Trisha draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and repeated difficulties with closeness and trust. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools are used when strong feelings and relationship repair are central. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people decide what matters to them and take practical steps towards those values.
Trisha describes life and executive coaching as an option when clients want goal-focused work with clear aims and accountability. She can combine coaching tools with therapeutic conversation when that suits the person's aims.
Her background includes mindfulness leadership and long clinical experience helping people through major life change. Sessions aim to make difficult situations easier to understand and to identify practical next steps. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients in English.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take actions that reflect those values. It focuses on practical steps and learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings rather than trying to make them disappear.Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on being heard and understood. The counsellor reflects back what the client says and helps the person make sense of their own experience. This approach is often useful when someone needs space to talk through confusion or loss.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to change patterns that keep problems in place, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and agree what methods to try based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week by reducing travel time and allowing work or family breaks to be used for appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and mean people do not have to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same range of therapeutic work remotely as they do in person, with practical benefits for everyday life.
