About Puja

Puja Attul is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and codependency concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences and find practical ways to cope. Puja writes simply and directly with a focus on everyday steps people can try between sessions.

She works in an integrative way, blending Humanistic ideas with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so conversations cover feelings and day-to-day thinking. That means time is spent both on understanding emotions and on learning tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflective discussion and practical exercises.

Puja places attention on building self-awareness and clearer patterns in relationships. She helps people notice where old coping habits, including codependent responses, get in the way of their goals. Sessions include simple strategies for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and tackling issues like low self-esteem or addictive behaviours.

The work also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and major life changes. Puja aims to help clients find small, steady steps toward greater confidence and resilience. She uses a compassionate style that encourages curiosity about one’s own experience rather than blame.

Puja practises in the United Kingdom and works with English-speaking clients, including people outside the UK. If you are thinking about therapy she asks people to reflect on what they hope to change and to be honest about practical needs when arranging sessions.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online counselling

Puja uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and behaviour change. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections; this can help with trust, intimacy-related issues and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Puja will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That means approaches can change over time as needs shift, and she encourages open feedback about what feels useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking as they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support regular check-ins, and allow shorter or more frequent sessions when helpful. It can also reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online meetings to continue steady progress without needing to be in the same place as the client.
