Jatinder Purwaha
Compassionate, practical support for emotional struggle
About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. He writes plainly and listens carefully so people can say what matters. He speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi and practises from the United Kingdom.
He brings 32 years of experience to sessions and uses straightforward approaches to help people manage difficult emotions. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through painful memories or current worries.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on clear steps and practical skills as well as emotional understanding. His work includes support for people affected by trauma and abuse, and for those facing depression or ongoing stress. He also helps with issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver strain, and the emotional impact of serious illness.
He is familiar with concerns linked to dissociation, impulsivity and personality-related difficulties. In sessions he draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based approaches. That mix allows him to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals.
The emphasis is on collaboration and building coping strategies that fit everyday life. People who meet him can expect clear explanations, steady support and practical tools to use between sessions. He focuses on what can be done now to reduce distress and on small changes that add up.
The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than rapid fixes.

Sessions & fees
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what really matters and take steps towards those values, while learning ways to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made, so the choice is collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it possible to access a registered or accredited professional from different locations and at times that suit busy schedules.
