About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 32 years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. He speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi.
He uses straightforward talking methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of his approaches alongside acceptance and commitment techniques and attachment-informed work.
Jatinder has a long clinical history supporting people after loss and trauma. He has worked with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and survivors of domestic violence. He also helps with problems like guilt, shame, impulsivity, control issues and caregiver stress.
In sessions he listens to the immediate problem, then suggests small experiments to test different ways of thinking and behaving. He also uses emotion-focused and client-centred ideas to help people notice and name feelings. Dialectical strategies may be used when managing strong emotions or impulsive reactions.
People can expect clear, practical conversations and tasks to try between meetings. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, practising alternatives and tracking what changes. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood and stress where clear steps and tracking can help. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with grief and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change those patterns in current relationships and emotional reactions. Jatinder will discuss these approaches and work together with the client to decide which fits best for their goals and preferences. That choice may shift as practical work and reflection reveal what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family routines, or useful when face-to-face travel is difficult. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio when video is hard to arrange. The therapist will discuss which format suits the client’s schedule, energy and need for different kinds of exercises.
