About Amreeta
Amreeta Chapman-Aujayeb is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem. Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse and practical work on confidence and motivation.
She trained originally in clinical psychology and then moved into therapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy. She has also pursued further academic study and is engaged in doctorate-level training aimed at teaching counselling and psychotherapy at a higher level.
Background and approach
Amreeta draws on experience gained while living in Mauritius, India and England, and she works with people from a range of cultural backgrounds. She speaks English, French and Hindi which can help when cultural context matters in sessions. Some clients come for short-term, technique-focused work such as building confidence, managing sleep problems or reducing anxiety.
Others ask for longer work to address complex trauma, domestic abuse, or repeated difficulties in relationships and self-worth. In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful experiences and practical problems. She works collaboratively to help people understand their symptoms and to develop steps they can try between sessions.
Approaches used online and how they can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help people who are stuck in worry or avoidance by teaching simple exercises to reorient action toward values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and routines that maintain anxiety or low mood.The choice of approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. From there she and the client decide which methods to try and review how they are working over time.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and eye contact, phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options offer flexibility for different days and needs while still allowing a steady therapeutic process with registered or accredited professionals.
