About Poonam
Poonam Sejpal is a BACP-registered counsellor with 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing relationship strain, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and related concerns. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on practical ways to manage feelings and relationships.
She uses a humanistic integrative approach that draws on several therapies. That means conversations may include exploring patterns from the past, changing unhelpful thoughts, and looking at how connection and attachment shape behaviour. She aims to help people notice what keeps problems repeating and try different ways of responding.
Poonam often works with issues linked to self-esteem, parenting pressures, grief, intimacy and workplace stress. She also supports people coping with ADHD, codependency, communication problems and the effects of domestic violence. Practical coping skills and clearer communication tend to be part of sessions when relevant.
Her style values respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatising labels. Clients can expect steady, direct conversation about what is happening and what might change. The emphasis is on understanding patterns and testing alternatives rather than on technical jargon.
For people worrying about anger - getting hot with loved ones, holding long-term resentment, or managing someone else’s anger - sessions aim to identify triggers and build realistic steps that reduce flare-ups. Starting is straightforward: a short questionnaire and a booked first session set the process in motion.
How her approaches work online and what to expect
People will notice a mix of methods in her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and helps with relationship strain and intimacy problems. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses open conversation to clarify values, choices and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behaviour patterns with clear exercises to reduce unhelpful reactions such as intense anger or persistent worry.Finding the right mix is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and then agree on an approach together. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift emphasis if a different method seems more helpful as the work progresses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy fits around work or family life. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to keep focus on practical steps and real-life changes rather than technical detail.
