About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 32 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English, Hindi and Punjabi for those who prefer to use those languages.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In sessions he helps people name and work through strong emotions, notice repeating patterns, and try different ways of responding. He explains things plainly and keeps conversations focused on what feels most relevant to the person in front of him.
Many clients come with trauma or grief. He has long experience supporting people after loss, abuse and other painful events. He also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and with difficulties such as dissociation, guilt and shame. Practical skills for coping are offered alongside talking work.
Jatinder aims to help people understand how past experiences shape present reactions. He pays attention to communication problems, control or dependence patterns, and impulsive behaviour that gets in the way of daily life. He can also support those juggling caregiver stress or coping with serious illness in the family.
People who prefer sessions in Hindi or Punjabi are able to work in those languages. International clients may be accepted; confirm current options before booking. To start, use the site matching flow and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name powerful emotions and the ways those feelings shape relationships and daily reactions. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values, which can help with anxiety and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will use elements from EFT, ACT or Attachment-Based Therapy as they suit the situation. This is a collaborative process to test what helps and adjust the focus as needed.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking since current options are provided when you begin the matching process. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow people to work in English, Hindi or Punjabi if that is preferred, and to access a registered BACP counsellor from outside the UK.
