How Puja works
She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice what matters to them so they can make meaningful changes. Puja blends humanistic ideas with cognitive behavioural approaches. That means she makes space for emotional exploration while also teaching skills to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions often include straightforward exercises and steps to try between meetings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life-change difficulties. She also focuses on areas such as attachment issues, body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and coping after disasters.
Puja adapts the way she works to each person’s needs. She aims to help people feel clearer, more resilient, and more able to cope. The approach is collaborative and paced to what the client finds helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to small steps that align with what matters to them. It suits people who want to make changes while accepting difficult feelings rather than fighting them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives clear tools for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor sessions to suit each person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as needs change.
Online therapy can fit into busy lives. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and work well for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching or times when shorter, written support is useful.
Using online formats makes it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for each format so progress continues between sessions.
