About Poonam
Poonam Sejpal is a counsellor with 11 years of experience helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She works with worries like anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strain and challenges linked to ADHD.
Poonam aims to make the first step feel safer and more manageable for anyone seeking change. Her style is warm and respectful. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship where people can speak plainly without being judged.
Background and approach
She avoids stigmatising labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion. Poonam blends different therapeutic ideas to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive-behavioural methods to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
She draws on psychodynamic and narrative ideas to help people understand patterns from the past and the stories they tell about themselves. Attachment-based work features when relationships and intimacy are a main concern, helping clients explore how early bonds affect present connections. The work is practical and collaborative, with tools, reflection and goal-focused conversations tailored to daily life.
Poonam has worked with a wide range of concerns over more than a decade. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. If someone decides to begin, she supports them through each step and adjusts the approach as needed.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. Sessions might mix approaches over time so the work matches changing needs and practical aims.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around life and access support from the United Kingdom or internationally.
