About Pooja
Pooja P is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with addiction, low self-esteem, parenting pressures and challenges around intimacy and codependency. Pooja speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She brings experience from many years in corporate and hospitality roles before moving into counselling. That background means she is used to different cultures and ways of working, and she draws on those perspectives in sessions. She trained as a counsellor and also holds qualifications in human resources, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Pooja describes her style as warm and empathic. She gives clients room to speak and tries to make the first meetings feel less daunting. She adapts her approach to each person, using elements from several methods rather than one fixed model.
Her practice draws on approaches such as attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness, alongside emotion-focused and relational methods. In practice this can mean working on patterns in relationships, spotting unhelpful thinking styles and trying simple exercises to manage stress and mood.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and circumstances. People who choose to start are invited to explain their goals and Pooja will shape the work with them. The therapy aims to be practical and down to earth, helping people manage current problems and build coping skills for the future.
How chosen approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the way early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps with feelings of abandonment, trust issues and patterns that leave someone feeling stuck in relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together; it uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in close relationships and can help people understand and shift interaction patterns that cause distress.Picking the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try out different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative way lets the client steer the work while the counsellor offers options and feedback.
