About Trisha

Trisha Poole is a BACP therapist with 24 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, loss, addiction and depression, and offers coaching for those wanting clearer goals. Trisha also names relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and work-related strain among her areas of work.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) features alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions can include talking about feelings, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.

Trisha describes herself as a life coach and mindfulness lead as well as a therapist. When people want goal-focused work she offers coaching with practical steps and accountability alongside therapeutic conversations. Sessions can shift toward coping skills, decision-making, or exploring deeper emotions depending on what a person needs.

Her background includes long experience helping people manage sleep and eating concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and career. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

People who are new to therapy are invited to ask about how sessions run and what to expect. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting so the person and therapist can agree the best way to work together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with strong emotions and the patterns they form. It can help when feelings are hard to name or when habitual emotional reactions are affecting daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which can support coping and getting unstuck.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will suggest which approach or combination might suit best. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and allows brief check-ins when a shorter contact is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can guide whether a particular approach suits the issue you bring and how it will be applied in remote sessions.
