About Poonam

Poonam Sejpal is a qualified humanistic integrative therapist with more than a decade of professional experience, based in the United Kingdom. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy.

Poonam has supported clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, domestic abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and ADHD. She adapts interventions to each person, drawing on cognitive-behavioural methods alongside humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, as well as gestalt and transactional analysis, to meet individual needs.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and empathic, creating a non-judgemental space where clients can build trust and explore their experiences. She approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids stigmatising labels. For couple and relationship work she uses a systemic lens to explore relationship fit and attachment styles.

Poonam frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports people to make meaningful changes. She encourages those ready to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.

Integrative approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and adult relationships shape emotional responses and patterns - it helps people understand attachment styles and improve connection in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering an empathic, non-directive environment that supports self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and learn practical strategies to manage mood, anxiety, stress, and related difficulties.

Poonam Sejpal draws on these approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Finding the right approach is part of the work - she collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques as the therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or ongoing contact can be arranged via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier for people to access regular support around work, family, or travel commitments, while maintaining continuity with a registered professional.
