About Trisha
Trisha Poole is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship concerns, and she also offers support around parenting, grief and career change. Trisha combines psychotherapy and coaching depending on what a person wants to achieve.
Trisha uses practical conversations and evidence-informed methods. She explains options clearly and helps people decide whether therapy or life coaching is a better fit for their goals. That might mean focusing on emotional patterns one week and setting measurable steps the next.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and actions. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are a concern. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when feelings and connection are central to the work.
Sessions are aimed at breaking problems into manageable parts. Trisha talks through everyday problems like sleeping, eating, parenting pressures, and workplace stress in plain language. She also supports people dealing with trauma, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues such as abandonment or body image.
People who prefer goal-based work can move into life or executive coaching. Trisha outlines clear steps and accountability for those goals while keeping therapeutic material available when deeper exploration is needed.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making changes you want to keep. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy, and it can help with relationship distress or recurring emotional patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods with the client and decide together which fits best for the person's aims, current problems and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals or circumstances change, and the process is collaborative.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting, work or appointments. It also allows shorter check-ins, sessions without video if needed, and the chance to continue work despite geographic distance. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools to suit everyday life and responsibilities.
