About Puja

Puja Attul works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and a wide range of related concerns using a blend of humanistic and cognitive approaches. She is registered with NCPS and has 12 years of experience in counselling practice.

Puja prefers a practical, conversational style. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name patterns that get in the way. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments in thinking and behaviour.

Alongside those techniques, Puja draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas to explore feelings and relationship patterns. That side of therapy is about helping people notice how their past relationships influence present choices and responses.

Sessions include practical tools for everyday life as well as space to talk things through. Puja also works with themes such as grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career concerns, chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, and issues linked to adoption and attachment.

She offers support for people who identify as LGBT and for those facing compassion fatigue, burnout or major life change. Puja also lists work with ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, and intimacy or commitment issues among her focus areas.

Her approach aims to combine emotional exploration with concrete skills so people can manage symptoms day to day while making longer term changes. Sessions are described in straightforward terms to help people judge whether this style might suit them.

How her approaches translate to remote counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change behaviour; this often suits problems such as anxiety, sleep or mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift repeated ways of relating that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and what feels useful in practice. That collaborative process helps people see what fits and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to connect with a counsellor from another location, including international clients, while the focus remains on practical tools and conversations that support everyday life.
