About Puja

Puja Attul is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Puja describes her way of working as integrative. She blends humanistic, client-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques to offer both emotional exploration and practical steps. That means clients talk through feelings and patterns, and also learn tools they can use between sessions.

Many people come to her when frustration builds, tempers flare with loved ones, or resentment grows at work. She also supports those coping with major life changes, burnout and compassion fatigue. In practical terms she helps identify thought patterns, practise new responses, and build clearer communication habits.

Her sessions tend to balance understanding with action. Conversations focus on what matters to the person while learning small experiments to try out differently. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas when people want to clarify personal values, and on attachment-based thinking where relationships and past hurts shape current responses.

Puja aims to help clients find more control over how they respond to anger and stress. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who prefer a mix of talking and concrete skills may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values. It is useful when anger links to feeling stuck or conflicted about priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It supports practical changes in how someone reacts to frustration at work or home. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how they influence current responses, which can be helpful when anger connects to trust or hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean combining approaches across sessions and adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can also let sessions continue across locations for international clients. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt tools and exercises so they work well by video or phone.
