About Puja
Puja Attul is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She combines practical tools with a warm, accepting manner so conversations feel straightforward and grounded. Her work suits people looking for clear coping strategies alongside space to reflect on difficult feelings.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using simple techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change small habits. Alongside this she uses Humanistic and attachment-informed ideas to create an open, non-judgemental space.
Background and approach
That mix lets conversations move between practical problem solving and emotional exploration. Puja uses everyday language and short, focused tasks people can try between sessions. Sessions often include breathing or grounding practices, thought records and steps for trying new behaviours.
She aims to turn ideas into small, realistic changes that make daily life easier. Clients commonly come with anxiety, depression, relationship or grief issues, sleep and eating concerns, or help with career stress and parenting strains. She also supports people facing trauma, addictions, chronic health concerns and identity-related challenges.
Puja adapts her methods to each person rather than following a fixed plan. Her approach is collaborative - she listens first, then suggests options the client can accept or modify. Sessions are practical but compassionate, focused on building resilience and clearer decision making.
Puja works in English and offers appointments to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Approaches that suit online work and anxiety
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to commit to small, meaningful actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours. It gives straightforward exercises such as thought records and behavioural experiments that translate well to remote sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand how they connect with others and make different choices in relationships and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, then try methods together. That collaborative process may blend ACT, CBT or attachment ideas into a tailored plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is effective for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text suits quick check-ins, journalling prompts or ongoing support between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and practical needs.
