About Puja

Puja Attul is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, grief, and coping with life changes.

Puja uses a blend of humanistic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she listens to what matters to each person and also offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions move between talking through feelings and practising strategies for everyday life.

People come to her for a wide range of issues. These include trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, body image and eating problems, sleeping difficulties, and challenges related to work and caregiving. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics and adoption or foster care related matters.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Puja helps people recognise patterns that cause distress and then works with them on small steps to shift those patterns. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred ways of relating, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and existential thinking as helpful tools.

Puja accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Puja draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based ways of working. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values; it can help when anxiety, avoidance or life changes get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical exercises to reduce distress and build new responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Puja will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, saving travel time and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to support continuity of care and to help people maintain progress alongside everyday responsibilities.
