About Poonam

Poonam Patel is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, and parenting challenges. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly, helping individuals make sense of difficult moments and identify practical steps forward.

Poonam holds membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development in therapeutic practice. Her approach centers on building a trusting relationship that allows clients to speak honestly about their concerns and work toward meaningful change.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Poonam aims to make that process as approachable and supportive as possible. She meets people where they are, listens carefully, and collaborates with them to set goals that reflect their priorities and life circumstances.

Psychodynamic and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Poonam Patel works online using psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods tailored to each person's needs. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns affect current thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for recurring relationship issues, family conflict, and persistent emotional patterns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic events and abuse, offering ways to reduce distressing symptoms and regain a sense of control and safety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Poonam collaborates with clients to identify which methods suit their goals, preferences, and life situation. She encourages open discussion about how therapy is going and adjusts the plan as needed so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Poonam is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, evidence-informed support.
