About Puja

Puja Attul is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and many other life challenges. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and practical tools to help clients feel steadier.

Background and approach

Puja works in straightforward, everyday language so people can make progress without jargon. She combines humanistic, person-centred attitudes with cognitive behavioural techniques to meet each person where they are.

That means she listens for what matters most, and then works on small steps that make daily life easier. Sessions can include talking things through, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and practising new ways of responding.

Puja also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current fears and patterns. The Gottman Method informs her way of thinking about closeness and communication in important relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be used when people want to build values-led change despite uncomfortable feelings. Her approach is collaborative rather than directive.

She helps set simple goals and checks progress together. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside space to explore feelings and meaning.

Puja is based in the United Kingdom and works with people from different backgrounds. Sessions are delivered in English and can be arranged online by following the site’s matching and booking steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Puja often uses the Gottman Method to think about communication and emotional connection, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of interacting that can reduce conflict and increase understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship experiences to understand current worries about closeness, trust and boundaries, and then explores new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Puja will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest what might help most. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as you learn what feels useful and what does not.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
