About PJ
PJ Sangalang is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog and he accepts international clients.
He listens to each person's story and pays attention to how life experience shapes thinking and feeling. He uses primarily client-centred and existential ideas to help people notice their values, choices and how they relate to others. Motivational interviewing and systemic thinking inform how he talks about relationships and patterns.
In practical terms he aims to build a steady working relationship with each person. He encourages reflection, gentle challenge and exploration of how daily habits and beliefs affect mood and relationships. He is also open about coming from a BAME background and having lived as an immigrant, which can be relevant when discussing culture and identity.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing anxiety, addressing commitment doubts or working through family of origin issues. He will talk through examples from everyday life and help identify small changes that can make a difference.
People can expect conversational, reflective sessions that balance listening with prompts and questions. This approach helps unpack feelings around guilt, shame, loneliness, workplace stress, life purpose and stages such as midlife or young adulthood.

How his approaches work in online sessions
PJ uses client-centred therapy to follow what matters most to a person and encourage clearer self-understanding. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what is said and helping clients feel heard so they can examine personal values and choices.He also draws on existential therapy to look at questions of meaning, responsibility and life direction. That can be useful for people wrestling with life purpose, midlife transitions or choices about relationships and commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses goals and preferences with each client and together they choose which ideas and techniques to use. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they address communication problems, family patterns, shame and workplace pressures in ways that fit the person’s needs.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel on a tight day. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, often adapt session length and focus to match everyday schedules and practical constraints.
