About Pooja
Pooja P is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of counselling experience. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, addiction, and issues such as codependency and attachment concerns.
Pooja draws on human resources and hospitality sector experience that involved working with many cultures. She uses that background to understand how work, culture and family life affect day-to-day coping. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions and helps clients notice patterns that keep causing pain or confusion.
Her approach includes talking through emotions and behaviours, using attachment-informed ideas to clarify relational patterns, and bringing in cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking. She also uses emotion-focused work to help people name and respond to strong feelings. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change in their life.
Pooja aims to be flexible in how she works and adapts the pace to each person. She uses creative ways to illustrate ideas when that helps understanding. She will discuss options such as short-term focused work or longer conversations depending on what the client prefers.
People who reach out often want clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, better handling of grief or loss, or help when addiction or mood problems are affecting daily life. Pooja supports planning small, practical steps so people can try different ways of coping between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-informed work helps people name recurring relationship patterns and understand why they react strongly in certain relationships. It is useful when someone struggles with people-pleasing, fear of abandonment or codependent behaviours because it focuses on how early bonds shape current responses.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into small, workable steps. It is practical for anxiety, low mood and managing addictive urges because it includes exercises and experiments clients can try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on naming and shifting strong emotional responses. It can help when people get overwhelmed by shame, grief or anger and want clearer ways to express feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then decide together which methods to use. This collaborative approach helps the client test what fits and change course as needed.
Many people find online counselling easier to fit into busy lives because it removes travel time and lets sessions take place from wherever the person is at the appointment time. If you need clarity about the exact session formats offered, confirm current options before booking. The aim is to make therapy manageable alongside work, family and daily routines.
