About Chirayu
Chirayu Goyal is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, addiction concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse. He speaks English and Hindi and works with clients from different countries.
Chirayu uses a person-centred style that places the client's voice at the centre of each session. He listens for the patterns that shape emotions and relationships and helps clients name what is happening.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at small changes that matter day to day. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs much of his work when attachment and intimacy are part of the difficulty. That approach is used to help people understand their emotional responses and to find new ways of connecting with themselves and others.
He also draws on ideas from narrative and psychodynamic perspectives to look at how past stories and repeated patterns affect the present. Chirayu brings elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. Sessions can include skills practice and clear strategies alongside reflective talk.
He tailors the mix of approaches to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. He aims to create a respectful and empathetic space where people can talk honestly about difficult feelings. Starting therapy is often hard, and he focuses on practical next steps so progress feels manageable.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and understand how those feelings shape close relationships. Online sessions can use EFT to work through attachment worries and improve emotional connection.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. In a remote setting this means sessions centre on the person's concerns and the counsellor mirrors and reflects to deepen understanding.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behaviours. Online formats are well suited to short skills practice, homework review and step-by-step coaching when someone feels overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy also brings practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or stepwise progress possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
