About Trisha
Trisha Poole is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience who offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss and life transitions. She combines psychotherapy and coaching skills to help people who feel stuck or unsure about their next step. Trisha aims to tailor sessions so each person leaves with clearer choices and doable steps.
Trisha uses a mix of approaches to match what the person needs.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values. Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based ideas are used when relationship or intimacy issues are central. Her work includes support for depression, addictions, grief, relationship difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
She also helps with career concerns, self-esteem, anger and coping after disasters or major illness. Trisha offers practical coaching when people want goal-focused, accountable work rather than open-ended therapy. Sessions are delivered in a grounded, empathic style.
Trisha listens for what matters most, then agrees small steps the person can try between sessions. She explains techniques in plain language and keeps plans clear and manageable. People come to her when life feels overwhelming or directionless.
She works with each person to build coping strategies, improve relationships and move toward a more meaningful day-to-day life.
How Trisha's approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and deciding on life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and build new routines for sleep, eating and stress management.
Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work when relationships or intimacy are central. This approach looks at how early patterns affect current connections and helps people try different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trisha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
