About Puja

Puja Attul is a counsellor registered with the NCPS with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures like stress, anxiety, relationship strains and career doubts, and with a wide range of other concerns including trauma, grief, addiction and ADHD. Puja focuses on practical help as well as conversations that clarify what matters to each person.

She blends client-centred and cognitive approaches in her work. That means conversations that listen closely, alongside exercises that look at thinking patterns and behaviour. Sessions aim to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try new ways of coping. Practical tools for day-to-day life are offered alongside space to talk about feelings.

Puja describes her style as collaborative. She helps people set achievable goals and checks progress as therapy continues. This can be useful for someone dealing with feeling behind after university, starting a first job, or navigating relationship and identity issues in early adulthood.

Her background spans relational and evidence-informed methods, with attention to attachment and meaning in life. That range supports work on intimacy problems, communication difficulties, body image and parenting concerns among other topics. Puja also addresses challenges linked to chronic illness, caregiving stress and major life change.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Practical steps for starting are to complete the site's short questionnaire and arrange an initial meeting. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and learn small changes in action. It is practical for coping with anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. It is useful for managing panic, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and can help with intimacy, communication and trust issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Puja will discuss what matters and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and based on each person's needs, goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the session formats available before you book, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, let someone join from another city, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. It can also reduce travel and help people begin talking from their usual routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so progress is practical and manageable.
