About Puja

Puja Attul is a counsellor with 12 years of practice supporting people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and a wide range of life challenges. She works with issues that include trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career concerns. Puja is listed with the NCPS and offers a calm, listening approach to help people feel heard and understood.

She uses a blend of humanistic thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques to meet each person’s needs. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual, and on practical tools to change thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of daily life. Puja aims to balance emotional exploration with straightforward strategies people can use between sessions.

People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where empathy and honesty guide the conversation. The counsellor encourages clients to notice their strengths while working on upsetting patterns and difficult feelings. She helps clients build skills for coping with stress and for handling relationship and intimacy-related problems.

Puja also pays attention to attachment and meaning in life, supporting people through loss, chronic health issues and major life transitions. Her work touches on family-related concerns, parenting strain and compassion fatigue, without assuming one way of working suits everyone.

The focus is on collaboration: setting goals, trying practical exercises and revisiting what helps. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they know what formats are available.

How Puja’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what truly matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change behaviour and mood; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy creates a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and builds self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then test out approaches together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something does not feel helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to join from different locations if travel is difficult. Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm which options are offered before booking so you know what will suit your routine.
