About Trisha

Trisha Poole works with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and grief issues using a mix of talking therapies and coaching methods. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 24 years' experience in counselling and coaching.

Trisha combines practical conversation with reflective work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and emotionally-focused ways of working. Sessions may include goal-oriented coaching where clients want clear steps and accountability.

She helps people who feel lost, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Typical concerns she addresses include depression, work-related stress, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and relationship or intimacy-related worries. She also supports issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image problems.

Her approach is grounded and person-centred. Trisha listens to what each person brings and then suggests practical, evidence-informed methods to try. This can mean learning new ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, practising mindfulness, or focusing on small, achievable changes.

Clients can expect a steady, practical way of working that balances coaching aims with therapeutic exploration. Over 24 years she has worked with a wide range of life challenges and brings that experience to planning sessions and framing next steps.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Trisha’s approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then identify actions that align with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and some eating difficulties.

Attachment-based and emotionally-focused work helps people understand relationship patterns and strong emotions. This kind of work can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you arrange your first appointment.
