Hello my name is Puja, I am an accredited counsellor with 12 years of experience. As an integrative counsellor, I combine Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and effective space for personal growth and emotional wellbeing. I believe that each person has the inner capacity to create change, and my role is to support that process through empathy, understanding, and practical tools for everyday life.
Drawing on Humanistic principles, I offer a warm, non-judgemental environment where clients can explore their experiences freely and develop deeper self-awareness and self-acceptance. Alongside this, I use evidence-based CBT techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns, build coping strategies, and encourage positive behavioural change.
This balanced approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client’s individual needs—supporting both emotional exploration and practical problem-solving. My aim is to empower clients to build resilience, gain clarity, and move toward greater confidence and wellbeing in their lives.
