A calm, practical counsellor for relationship and identity issues
About Chirayu
Chirayu Goyal is a counsellor with three years of professional experience. He works with people who are facing relationship strain, grief, depression, anxiety and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. He communicates with respect and sensitivity and tailors sessions to each person’s situation.
Chirayu helps people talk through identity concerns, family conflict and problems with body image or confidence. He also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, and people trying to manage addictions or overwhelming stress.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around what the person needs in that moment. His approach is practical and conversational. He listens first, then helps set small goals to try between sessions.
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and understand, and to find steps that feel doable in everyday life. Chirayu draws on a mix of approaches including client‑centred work, emotion‑focused techniques and narrative ideas to help people make sense of their story.
He may also use elements from psychodynamic thinking and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when they suit the situation. Sessions can be conducted in English or Hindi. He works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
If someone is ready to begin, they can start by completing the short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit their schedule.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens carefully and reflects back what they hear so the person feels understood and can explore choices. This approach helps with low self‑esteem, relationship questions and finding clearer personal direction.Emotionally‑Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and patterns that appear in relationships. It helps people name difficult feelings, understand how those feelings shape interactions, and try new ways of connecting. This can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and relationship distress.
Dialectical behaviour therapy, often called DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It uses short, teachable tools that people can practise between sessions to cope with stress and reduce impulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit the person’s situation. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a full conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit around busy days, provide quick reflection between sessions, and help people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact and keep progress moving forward.
