About Pooja
Pooja P is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of counselling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain and other family and life pressures. She also supports people with depression, bipolar features, addiction concerns, ADHD and problems with sleep or eating.
She draws on approaches such as attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused methods to guide conversations. Sessions are practical and paced to the client. Pooja listens for patterns in relationships and everyday habits, then uses that information to suggest small, manageable steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes long experience in corporate and service industries and training in human resources and counselling. That experience informs a practical way of working with career stress, caregiver strain and role-related pressures. She also brings attention to cultural context and family dynamics when they are relevant.
Pooja uses a conversational style and adapts methods to what an individual prefers. She may combine attachment-based insights with mindfulness exercises or use cognitive-behavioural tools to address specific thoughts and routines. The aim is to create a clear plan for change and to revisit it as needs evolve.
Sessions may explore communication patterns, boundaries, coping strategies and responses to loss or abandonment. People often use sessions to prepare for difficult conversations, manage anger or work through ongoing worry. She offers work in English, Gujarati and Hindi and accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How attachment and CBT work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. In an online session this can mean tracing patterns in communication and exploring new ways to ask for support or set boundaries.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT commonly uses short exercises and practical homework to test unhelpful thinking and build different routines for sleep, eating or stress management.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional patterns that colour their interactions. In remote sessions this can include guided exercises to identify core feelings and practise responding differently in conversations at home.
Pooja treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. She will discuss preferences, goals and practical constraints, then agree which methods to use and how to adapt them for remote work. That plan can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy routines and avoiding travel time. If you need a shorter check-in or prefer not to use video some therapists can offer alternative formats; the biography did not specify which formats Pooja uses, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to continue support while juggling parenting, work or caregiving commitments.
