More about Poonam
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a qualified humanistic integrative therapist working with clients for the past 10+ years . I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, domestic abuse, OCD, and ADHD using a range of interventions tailored to my clients.
My therapy style is warm and empathic, providing a non-judgemental space for clients to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatising labels.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, gestalt and transactional analysis. For relationship/couple work, my approach is systemic with a view to explore couple fit and attachment styles.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. It can be hard to take those initial steps in reaching out for support to work through a problem. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you throughout this journey.
I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Poonam has been very helpful in assisting me with issues I've struggled with my whole life and is helping me find ways to better manage my adhd symptoms which had become cripplingly bad over the last few years. In a short space of time she has been quite helpful and understanding and not judgemental at all. I feel I can be completely open with her about any issues I am facing on any given day
Very supportive therapist who actually listens to your needs and wants. Highly recommend.
Poonam just gets me! She has really been a great help even in this short space of time. I look forward to continuing to work with her!
i feel comfortable speaking with poonam who is good at sharing her insight and expertise when i am feeling confused about my own feelings. I like that she offers her expert opinion rather than just letting me vent. i'm finding it really helpful and have already more clarity and validation about my feelings
