About Puja
Puja Attul is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions and grief. Puja aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use new skills day to day.
She draws on 12 years of experience and uses a blend of Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
That means there is space to talk about feelings and values, plus concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Puja describes her role as supportive and collaborative rather than directive. Her sessions often begin by finding what matters most to the client and then testing small, achievable steps.
Practical exercises and reflection are mixed with open conversation. This approach is intended to build coping skills while also increasing self-awareness. Puja also works with issues like parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, burnout and compassion fatigue, ADHD and intimacy-related concerns.
She can help people dealing with major life events, chronic illness or the stresses of caregiving. She holds the NCPS credential and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients by online formats.
The focus is on steady progress, not quick fixes, so goals are set together and reviewed as therapy continues.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Puja often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. That approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and navigating big life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms. CBT suits issues like low mood, sleeping problems, eating concerns and some types of anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Puja will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets clients use face-to-face interaction, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around daily life and to continue work even when schedules or locations change.
