PJ Sangalang
Support for stress anxiety and relationships
About PJ
PJ Sangalang helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. He meets people who are struggling with everyday pressures, family issues, communication problems, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose. PJ introduces himself in a direct, calm way and focuses on listening first so people feel heard.
He uses a human-centred style that aims to understand how each person sees their world. Sessions are conversational and reflective; he asks questions, listens closely, and gently challenges unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
The goal is practical insight rather than technical jargon. PJ combines Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Existential Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify values and make workable changes. He also draws on Systemic Therapy ideas when looking at family of origin and relationship dynamics.
These approaches are used to address commitment issues, infidelity, guilt and shame, workplace stress and multicultural concerns. With three years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, PJ brings a straightforward, respectful manner to sessions.
He has personal experience as an immigrant and identifies with the BAME community, which informs his awareness of prejudice, discrimination and cultural identity in therapy. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog and can be arranged for international clients. PJ works online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and supports people who prefer short check-ins or longer, deeper conversations.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and wants to explore their own solutions rather than follow imposed advice.Existential Therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It can be useful for people facing life purpose concerns, midlife questions or deeper anxiety about direction.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to support change. It helps people clarify their goals and build motivation for practical steps, useful for commitment issues and workplace changes.
PJ sees choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses so the approach stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical circumstances, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
