About Poonam

Poonam Sejpal is a humanistic integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience supporting people through a broad range of life challenges. She works with individuals and families on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting issues, domestic abuse, OCD, and ADHD, and she offers focused support for trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy and sexual concerns, and career-related stress.

Her practice is grounded in a warm, empathic style that seeks to create a non-judgemental space where clients can build trust and explore difficult emotions. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatising labels. Her training includes approaches from cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, gestalt and transactional analysis traditions, allowing her to tailor interventions to each client’s needs.

For couples and relationship work she takes a systemic view, exploring couple fit and attachment patterns to help partners understand their dynamics. Poonam holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and she welcomes clients who are ready to take the steps toward change. She offers practical support and aims to empower clients as they work toward a more fulfilling life.

Attachment, client-centered care, and CBT for online support

Poonam draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses - this can be especially useful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and attachment-related distress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a compassionate, person-focused approach that prioritises the client's own goals and pace and helps build self-awareness and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core element of her work, providing practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Poonam works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan remains aligned with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Poonam is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations that suit them while maintaining the same clinical focus and professional support they would expect in face-to-face care.
