Jatinder Purwaha, BACP

Jatinder Purwaha is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with 32 years of professional experience and a long-standing focus on trauma work. He holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and completed EMDR training in the UK with EMDR UK in 2019. Over the course of his career he has supported people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, addiction and the aftereffects of abuse.

He approaches therapy with sensitivity and practical care, helping people explore difficult memories and current challenges while developing coping strategies for everyday life. Jatinder creates an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment, and he works collaboratively to set goals that matter to each person. Whether someone is navigating major life changes, processing traumatic events, or seeking relief from persistent anxiety, he offers steady professional support and guidance.

Taking the first step toward improved well-being can feel daunting, and Jatinder encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right for them. He is available to work with local and international clients and aims to provide clear, respectful assistance throughout the therapy process.

Approaches for online therapy and therapeutic support

Jatinder draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and learn practical ways to make meaningful changes despite difficult thoughts or feelings - ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. He also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships affect current patterns of connection and trust, which can be particularly helpful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jatinder works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He explains options clearly and adapts techniques as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Jatinder offers flexible ways to receive support - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or relocation, and they allow licensed professionals to tailor sessions to each individual's circumstances.
