About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha is a counsellor with 32 years of experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He offers calm, steady support and helps clients talk through difficult memories and strong emotions. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi for those who prefer those languages.
He commonly uses approaches that focus on values, relationships and practical coping. Jatinder combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-aware and client-centred practices to help people notice what matters to them and build small, manageable steps toward it.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also used where helpful for emotional regulation and changing unhelpful thinking. Jatinder completed EMDR training in the UK in 2019 and draws on that work when addressing trauma and distressing memories.
He aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be described without judgement and where pacing matches the person’s needs. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging for therapy. International clients are supported.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and pricing varies by location. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify personal values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and early bonds. It helps people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and reactions to stress or loss.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a supportive, non-judgemental listening space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs to feel heard and develop their own solutions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as progress is made.
Online sessions bring practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when needed, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
