Poonam Sejpal, BACP

Poonam Sejpal is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting strain and questions about life direction. She also supports people dealing with stress, anger, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues, and those exploring career and coaching concerns.

Her way of working is humanistic and client-centred. Sessions aim to make time to talk through what matters most and to look at patterns that keep people stuck. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to map personal stories and past influences that shape current choices.

In practical terms she helps people untangle attachment and communication problems in relationships. She also addresses more specific concerns such as ADHD-related struggles, grief, domestic violence impacts and blended family pressures. Sessions can look at boundaries, commitment worries, body image and caregiver stress as these come up.

Her education is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That registration signals a professional membership rather than a clinical guarantee. She works in English and accepts international clients.

People who feel stuck after a change in work, health or relationships often start by clarifying what matters next. The first meetings tend to focus on immediate problems and practical steps, then move on to the deeper patterns that affect choices and relationships.
