About Puja

Puja Attul is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or life changes. She offers straightforward support for mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms, along with concerns like addiction, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy. Puja also lists adoption and foster care among her additional areas of focus. She works in English and practises from the United Kingdom.

With 12 years of experience, Puja blends humanistic and cognitive behavioural ideas to suit each person she meets. Sessions tend to balance open conversation with practical tools. She listens for the story behind the difficulty, then suggests small, doable steps clients can try between meetings. The aim is to build clarity and steady coping rather than quick fixes.

Her humanistic approach creates a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can reflect and increase self-awareness. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside this to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise different behaviours. These two ways of working are combined flexibly so therapy fits real-life needs.

Puja describes her role as supporting people to develop resilience and confidence. She tends to offer practical strategies for everyday problems like sleeping, eating and managing work stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, abandonment and blended family challenges.

Practical matters are simple: she uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients start by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

How Puja’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect reactions today, which can help with attachment issues, abandonment and intimacy problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects to help the person find their own way forward; this supports self-awareness and acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Puja will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match someone’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision means sessions can shift over time as needs change.

The main practical benefit of online counselling is fitting therapy into busy lives. It can make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving or travel. If you need a shorter check-in or prefer not to use video, confirm which formats are offered before booking so you can choose what suits you. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors like Puja, commonly help clients use therapeutic tools at home and practise changes between sessions.
