Pooja P, BACP

Pooja P brings over 23 years' experience working across corporate and hospitality settings, having engaged with a wide range of people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She combines her background as a qualified human resource professional with training as a qualified counsellor, and her practice reflects specialisms in Gestalt, Person Centric, and Psychodynamic approaches. She is warm and empathic and recognises that reaching out for support can feel daunting for many people. Pooja aims to create space for each person to be heard while offering a steady, compassionate presence that helps clients explore their concerns at their own pace.

She works flexibly and incorporates creative methods to tailor therapy to individual needs and circumstances, adjusting style and technique to suit each client. Pooja also holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals her professional affiliation within the UK counselling community. Her approach emphasises respect for cultural context and practical responsiveness, assisting people facing stress, anxiety, family and relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, and a range of other life difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional patterns - it helps people understand how attachment needs affect trust, intimacy, and reactions in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional responses within relationships, helping partners or individuals reframe interactions and build stronger emotional bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pooja works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals often integrate elements from different models so the plan remains responsive and client-centred.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility and makes regular sessions more accessible for people with busy schedules, caregiving duties, or mobility limits. These options allow continuity of care across locations and time zones while enabling therapists and clients to focus on meaningful work together in ways that suit the client's life.
