About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha is a counsellor with 32 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and supports people who want clearer ways to cope with life changes and difficult emotions.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens first, then helps people notice what matters most to them. He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns and rebuild a sense of control.
In therapy he focuses on everyday problems like communication struggles, guilt and shame, impulsivity and caregiver stress. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, intellectual disability concerns, and those affected by domestic violence or cancer-related stress. Work often centres on making small changes that fit into a person's daily life.
His way of working is collaborative. He helps people set clear goals and practices skills between sessions, such as noticing thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying new behaviours. Progress is usually gradual and practical rather than sudden.
People who value straightforward, goal-focused counselling may find this approach useful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits; it suits worries, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and feeling understood, which can be useful for abandonment or attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That makes sessions more personalised and easier to use in day-to-day life.
Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on practical skills and brief exercises between meetings. If a phone call, video session or other format matters to you, confirm those options when you schedule.
