About Poonam
Poonam Sejpal offers calm, empathetic support for people facing relationship strain, anxiety, low mood, trauma, and stress. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help people untangle what matters most. Poonam presents a steady, respectful presence so individuals can start making small, practical changes at a manageable pace.
She has a BACP credential and more than 11 years of experience in therapeutic work across a wide range of concerns. That experience includes helping people with grief, parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, career stress, ADHD, and recovery from abuse.
Background and approach
Her background also covers issues such as codependency, attachment difficulties, dissociation and body image concerns. Poonam describes her style as warm and empathic. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings.
The focus is on building trust and reflecting on patterns that keep people stuck, not on labelling. Her practice draws on several approaches including attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques, narrative methods and psychodynamic perspectives. Techniques are chosen to suit the person and the problem rather than following a fixed programme.
People can expect conversations that balance listening with practical steps. Poonam aims to help people identify what they want to change, try different ways of coping, and notice what makes a difference. She supports each person to find a rhythm that fits their life and goals.

How Poonam works online
She also draws on client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and pace. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping them find their own solutions.
Cognitive behavioural therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. This gives concrete steps to reduce anxiety, low mood or problematic routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.
