About Parule
Parule Basu-Barua is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people cope with anxiety and related concerns. She brings five years of clinical experience and a thoughtful, individualised way of working. Parule speaks English and sees clients based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.
She often supports people whose anxiety links with trauma, eating difficulties and addiction. Sessions aim to uncover patterns that keep problems going, and to build practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings.
Background and approach
Parule pays attention to how past experiences shape current responses and to the role of the body in stress and eating problems. Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts (2:1) from the Metanoia Institute, and she is working towards a Masters in Neuroscience and Psychology at King’s College London.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In the room she creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful memories and worries. Work can include exploring early relationships, noticing unhelpful habits, and learning mindful ways to tolerate distress.
Parule adapts sessions to each person rather than relying on a single template. This might mean a mix of talking, reflecting on patterns, and simple mindfulness exercises. Practical steps and new ways of seeing problems are part of the plan alongside emotional processing.
Approach-led online counselling that fits your life
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The work involves listening without judgement, helping people identify their own goals, and supporting them to make changes that feel right. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and present-moment practices to reduce worry and help with sleep, stress and urges linked to eating or addiction.Choosing the right approach is part of how therapy begins. Parule will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your needs and preferences, and she may combine approaches as your work progresses. This is negotiated together so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These formats give options to keep continuity of care when travel or schedules are difficult.
