About Puja

Puja Attul is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain. She presents a calm, practical manner and focuses on small, useful changes that people can use in daily life. Sessions are aimed at helping clients feel clearer and more able to cope with everyday pressures.

Puja has 12 years of practice and works in the United Kingdom. She uses a blend of humanistic thinking and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which means conversations that combine listening with practical skills. That mix is useful for people who want to understand their feelings and also want step-by-step tools to manage them.

Her way of working is collaborative. Puja listens for what matters most to each person, then suggests experiments and strategies to try between sessions. These might include simple changes to routines, thought work, or ways to handle upsetting memories and reactions.

Puja pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns when they matter to a concern. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas to help clients consider values and meaning alongside coping techniques. This can be helpful for issues such as grief, identity, or major life transitions.

People who prefer a direct but compassionate approach may find her style suits them. She supports work on sleep and rest as part of broader wellbeing goals. To begin, readers should follow the site process to match and schedule a session according to their needs.

Approaches that guide online therapy conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for worry, low mood, sleep problems and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep-related difficulties. Attachment-Based ideas pay attention to how early relationships shape trust and closeness, and help people understand patterns that affect current relationships and wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences and what has helped before, and together they will choose methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made or new needs arise.

Session formats are not detailed in the supplied biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to use therapy from wherever they are based while keeping the focus on practical skills, values, and improving sleep and rest as part of daily routines.
