About Jatinder
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 32 years' experience, Jatinder Purwaha helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. He also focuses on abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and a range of relationship and personality-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Punjabi and international clients are accepted.
Jatinder uses practical talking therapies to help people make sense of distress and to build coping skills. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and avoidant patterns. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current feelings.
In sessions he aims to help people name painful feelings, try different ways of responding, and practise small changes between meetings. Work might include noticing thought patterns, building emotional regulation skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or exploring attachment habits that affect current relationships.
He has a long history of working with complex trauma and related issues, and brings that experience to both brief practical problem-solving and longer-term work. The focus is on clear steps people can try, alongside space to talk about what those steps feel like.
Practical matters such as fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How Jatinder uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take small actions that align with their values. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress and for coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing out different behaviours to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating when attachment patterns cause problems.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT techniques one week, and practical CBT strategies the next, while also addressing attachment themes over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, family commitments and travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is impractical, or reduce the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so practical skill-building can continue between meetings.
