About Poonam
Poonam Sejpal is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who supports people coping with depression and related concerns. She aims to make first steps feel achievable and to offer steady, respectful support during difficult times. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental and she focuses on building trust in the therapy room.
Poonam uses practical conversations to help people better understand their feelings and choices. She combines cognitive approaches with humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to each person.
Background and approach
That mix lets her address immediate problems and look at the longer patterns that sometimes keep people stuck. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviours that feed low mood, and at how early relationships shape current feelings. She pays attention to attachment styles and relationship patterns when they are relevant.
This helps people who are struggling with intimacy, trust, or recurring conflict. Poonam also works with issues such as anxiety, stress, anger, bereavement, parenting pressures, and trauma. She can help when career worries, identity questions, or ADHD traits affect day-to-day life.
Her aim is to reduce overwhelm and support clearer choices. People can expect a compassionate conversational style that balances practical tasks with space to reflect. The therapist encourages collaboration so goals are realistic and meaningful.
If someone is ready to begin, she supports the next steps toward change.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Poonam will talk through what matters to the person, their goals and how they prefer to work. Together they decide whether attachment exploration, cognitive work or a blend makes the most sense for the issue at hand.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls give a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
