Poonam Sejpal

Poonam Sejpal is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, anger, anxiety and low self-esteem. She writes in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make the first step feel safer for anyone who is worried about reaching out.

Poonam offers a calm space where people can talk through concerns such as grief, parenting pressures, career stress and the effects of trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, ADHD-related challenges, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce.

Her approach mixes several methods so work in sessions is flexible. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help with thinking patterns and coping skills. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and early influences on how people relate to others.

Poonam describes her style as warm and empathic. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and respectful, giving people room to explore what matters most to them. She avoids stigmatising labels and focuses on practical, understandable steps that clients can try between meetings.

With over 11 years' experience, Poonam has worked across a wide range of difficulties and adapts the work to each person. She accepts international clients and practises from the United Kingdom, using the methods that best fit each person's goals and situation.

If someone is ready to begin, she invites them to take a small step and seek support, and she aims to offer steady encouragement through the process.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Poonam commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is practical and often involves trying small experiments or new coping strategies between sessions.

She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current reactions. These approaches help when the issue involves anger, closeness, trust or repeating cycles in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Poonam will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That means trying ideas together, checking what helps, and changing direction if something does not feel useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow focused, regular check-ins from wherever someone is based. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when they need them.
