About Jatinder
Jatinder Purwaha is a counsellor with 32 years of experience who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He communicates in English, Hindi and Punjabi to support people from different backgrounds. His approach focuses on helping people talk through painful emotions and find practical ways to cope day to day.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns.
Background and approach
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions are designed to be warm and straightforward.
Jatinder aims to make space for honest conversation and for people to build skills they can use outside sessions. He pays attention to attachment issues, abandonment, caregiving stress and communication problems when they are part of someone’s struggles.
His practice also covers complex concerns such as dissociation, domestic violence, dependence and impulse control, as well as issues linked to adoption and intellectual disability. He listens for how past experiences shape current patterns and helps people find new responses to old hurts. People can expect a blend of talking, practical exercises and gentle reflection.
The goal is clearer understanding and small steps toward more manageable days.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how strong emotions shape patterns of relating and personal reactions. Online sessions can help people notice these emotional patterns and try new responses when they happen. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values, and is useful for anxiety, grief or life change challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which can make everyday tasks feel more manageable.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The counsellor will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean using one main approach or blending techniques so the work matches what the person wants from therapy.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good when visual connection helps the work, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments.
