Pooja P , BACP

Pooja brings more than 23 years of experience working across corporate and hospitality/service industries, engaging with diverse groups and cultural backgrounds. She is a qualified human resources professional and a trained counsellor who specialises in Gestalt, person-centred, and psychodynamic approaches to therapy. Pooja is known for a warm, empathic manner and for creating a space where people feel able to explore difficult emotions at their own pace.

Recognising that seeking counselling can feel daunting, Pooja focuses on allowing clients room to breathe while offering steady support. Her practice is flexible and creative, adapting methods and techniques to fit each person’s unique circumstances. Therapy is tailored to the individual, with attention to practical needs and personal goals so that the work remains relevant and manageable.

Pooja integrates her background in organisational settings with therapeutic skills to address a wide range of concerns. She aims to combine professional insight with compassionate presence, helping clients navigate change, process grief, repair relationships, and build greater self-understanding over time.

Approaches for online healing and connection

Pooja uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment concerns, or intense relationship reactions by clarifying relational needs and responses.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Pooja works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as the relationship and progress evolve.

Online therapy with Pooja combines these methods with flexible delivery - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so that therapy can fit around work, family, and other commitments. This flexibility makes it easier for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to practical life demands.
