About Pooja

Pooja P is a counsellor who helps people with money-related stress and wider life concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain and coping with change. She speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi, and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to conversations about difficult feelings and choices.

Pooja spent many years in corporate and hospitality roles before moving into counselling. That background shaped her understanding of workplace pressure, cultural differences and the practical demands that affect everyday life. She describes herself as warm and empathic and aims to give people space to speak at their own pace.

In sessions she adapts methods to what each person needs. Her listed approaches include Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. She combines those styles with person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to tailor the work to a person's situation.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns beyond financial stress, including grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, anger and compassion fatigue. Pooja also supports people working through communication problems, codependency, attachment worries and life-stage issues such as ageing and caregiver stress.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of formal counselling experience. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and improve how they connect with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical ways to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on emotions in close relationships and can help when people want to repair connection or manage attachment-related pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and life context. That choice draws on what the person wants to change, how they prefer to work, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use methods like mindfulness practice or CBT worksheets between meetings to reinforce progress.
