About

About Pooja

Pooja P is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, loss and parenting concerns. She uses plain, straightforward language and aims to make first steps feel manageable. Her approach is warm and supportive, and she gives people room to tell their story at their own pace.

Pooja draws on four years of counselling experience and a background in human resources and customer-facing roles. That mix helps her understand workplace pressures, cultural differences and the strain of juggling many responsibilities.

Background and approach

She adapts sessions to the needs of each person rather than following one fixed method. In sessions she blends practical tools with space to reflect. She may introduce breathing and mindfulness techniques, helpful thought exercises from cognitive behavioural ideas, or work on emotional patterns linked to attachment and relationships.

These are used as conversations rather than rigid protocols. Pooja offers work that is collaborative and flexible. She will listen for what matters most to a client and agree on small, realistic goals.

People often focus on coping with life changes, improving sleep and eating patterns, managing anger, or reducing anxiety. She speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Pooja often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current reactions. This approach highlights emotional bonds and aims to create safer ways of relating in everyday life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT can be useful for worries, sleep issues, low mood and practical problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The client and counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and choose techniques that match what the person needs. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can shift if something feels more or less helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options give flexibility so people can keep continuity even when travel or schedules change.
