About Puja
Puja Attul is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries and grief. She uses a warm, collaborative style to help clients gain clarity and confidence. Puja offers practical tools alongside space to reflect, so people leave sessions with helpful next steps.
She describes her approach as integrative, blending humanistic ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions often begin with open listening to understand what matters most to a person, then move to concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
The balance supports both emotional exploration and practical problem-solving. Puja also draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when these fit a person’s needs. Narrative work looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and helps rewrite limiting narratives.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small steps that help people live in line with what matters to them. People bring a wide range of concerns to her, including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns.
She also addresses more specific focuses like abandonment, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress. Based in the United Kingdom, Puja works in English and accepts international clients. Her registration appears as NCPS.
Sessions are practical, down-to-earth and paced to each person’s needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Puja directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Many of her methods adapt well to remote work. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and begin to reframe them; online sessions use conversation and written reflections to identify alternative storylines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small, committed actions; over video or messaging this can lead to short experiments and step-by-step plans to try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and building trust, which encourages people to speak openly about difficult feelings and decide what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Puja will work together with each person to choose or mix methods based on their needs, goals and comfort with different styles. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor work whether someone wants more reflective exploration or practical strategies.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when they prefer to see expressions and body language. Phone sessions suit those who want less screen time or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when fitting a session into a work break. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around daily commitments.
