About PJ
PJ Sangalang offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship strain. He invites those curious about themselves or dealing with everyday life problems to talk through their experiences. PJ introduces himself warmly and listens to each person's story and perspective before working together.
He draws on humanistic ideas and a holistic outlook to understand how thoughts, feelings and life experiences shape the person. PJ emphasises the quality of the therapeutic relationship and provides a kind, respectful and boundaried space for clients to reflect.
Background and approach
He aims to encourage and challenge when it feels useful. In practice PJ uses approaches that centre the client’s experience and values. He helps people make sense of where they are now, and what they want next.
Conversations focus on practical choices, clearer communication and rebuilding confidence when it has been knocked by guilt, shame or difficult events. PJ has three years of experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has worked with people from varied ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds and brings sensitivity to multicultural concerns and discrimination.
Sessions can address family of origin issues, commitment and communication problems, workplace stress, feelings of isolation, midlife questions and young adult challenges. PJ speaks English and Tagalog and accepts international clients, which can help people reach out from different places.

How PJ works online
Choosing a way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods together. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family routines and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for people to take part without being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing and tools so the work connects with everyday life rather than feeling separate.
