About Pooja

How Pooja works

Sessions are adapted to the person in front of her, with practical steps and reflective conversation depending on need. Her background includes four years of counselling practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration signals a commitment to professional standards and ongoing learning.

She combines her counselling work with experience from other sectors, bringing an understanding of workplace and service-industry pressures. Pooja draws on several therapy approaches to match the person and the problem. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, cognitive behavioural techniques to address worrying thoughts, and emotionally focused methods when feelings need clearer attention.

Mindfulness skills and elements from relational therapies may also appear in sessions. Sessions can be held in English, Gujarati or Hindi. Pooja offers online formats that suit busy lives and people living outside the UK.

She aims to make the first step straightforward so people can begin talking about what matters to them.

Online support options

How therapeutic approaches meet online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current difficulties. Online sessions can help identify repeating dynamics and try new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That conversation is collaborative and may lead to combining approaches, for example using mindfulness skills alongside CBT techniques to manage strong emotions.

Online therapy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video suits conversations that need visual cues, phone can fit a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat allow regular touchpoints without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel, and allow contact for people living in different countries while working with registered or accredited professionals.
