Poonam Sejpal , BACP

Poonam Sejpal is a qualified humanistic integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of clinical experience. She combines evidence-informed techniques with a humanistic sensibility to tailor interventions to each person's needs, and she holds the BACP credential - the abbreviation for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Poonam has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, domestic abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and ADHD. Her therapeutic toolbox draws on cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, gestalt, and transactional analysis approaches, applied flexibly to suit the individual or couple in front of her.

Her style is warm and empathic, offering a non-judgemental space where clients can develop trust and explore sensitive issues. She emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels, and she works systemically with couples to examine relationship fit and attachment patterns.

Poonam understands that reaching out for support takes courage. She aims to empower people as they take steps toward greater fulfilment and wellbeing, and she is available to work collaboratively with clients through the therapeutic process.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT in online care

Poonam Sejpal integrates several approaches in online therapy to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust that develop in relationships - it helps clients understand how early attachments affect current relationship dynamics and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals - it creates a supportive space for exploring identity, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Poonam works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as needs evolve. This shared process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Poonam is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, whether a client needs real-time conversation or shorter, message-based contact between sessions.
