About Poonam

Poonam Sejpal is a humanistic integrative therapist with 11 years of clinical experience, offering tailored support for people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She has worked with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, domestic abuse, OCD, and ADHD, adapting interventions to meet each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

Poonam’s style is warm and empathic, creating a non-judgemental space where trust can grow and difficult topics can be explored safely. She emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and avoids stigmatising labels, focusing instead on each client’s strengths and resources. Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques alongside humanistic and psychodynamic ideas, with additional influences from gestalt and transactional analysis to support insight, change, and emotional regulation.

For couple and relationship work she takes a systemic view, exploring patterns of interaction, attachment styles, and the fit between partners. Poonam sees taking the first step toward change as an act of courage and aims to support and empower clients throughout their journey toward greater wellbeing. She welcomes people ready to begin that process and looks forward to working collaboratively with them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current emotional responses and interpersonal needs - it can help people understand and shift how they relate to partners, family members, or close friends. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgemental, empathic relationship where the therapist supports the client’s own capacity for growth and self-understanding, which is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Poonam works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences so that therapists can tailor techniques and create a treatment plan that fits each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from a distance, and choose a communication style that feels most effective for the client.
